Deep Throat Removal
Step 1.
Click Start > Shutdown > "Restart in MS-DOS mode".
Step 2.
After the computer has restarted, change to the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.
Step 3.
Type "DIR systray.exe" (without the quotes) and look at the size of the file. If it's over 300kb, then you've confirmed this is the "server portion" of the trojan.
Step 4.
Type "DEL systray.exe" (without the quotes) to delete it.
Step 5.
Press CTRL-ALT-DEL and allow Windows to restart.
Congratulations Deep Throat has been removed from your system.
Important Notes:
Because the Trojan deletes and replaces Microsoft's SYSTRAY.EXE with the "server" portion, you'll have to extract the original 'systray.exe' from the CAB files.
