Can I suggest if you wish to learn how to remove etc etc that you join one of the schools on the net - they would be able to provide such info (as I could being one of the teachers). But would also help you with the clean up after.

Have you thought of joining one of the anti-malware schools - two available with lots of people in training.

With both you need to register first, then follow the directions in those posts above.

Out of interest why do you want to infect yourself?

Just curious

I can answer for myself - if not the original poster.

I intend to have a testbed computer to test the removal process for new malware.

It can also be useful to receive the copies of malware from people, when they are very new, so I can infect myself and hopefully find a cure for it, that way.

But I will use a ghost drive :) for safety.

www.ist-mall.com/coolwebsearch.htm

but im not going to try it to make sure (by the way Ad-Aware removes it)
