Malawarebyte does a good job of removing the files. Windows (vista/7) will tell you if a system file has been altered or changed. Formatting and reinstalling definitely my way maybe considered the hard way but you learn whats happening and will pick up on threats long before they take effect after a reboot.

What you dont seem to understand is; Windows Defender 2010 is what have been detected so far, because the real malware it installs, is virtually untraceable. It dont matter what OS it is, when it comes to polymorphic file infectors or viruses.
Once a OS have been compromised, it will remain unsafe. That is why I said, his only approach to securing his data again, is reinstalling and using a secure antivirus program.
