Oh, there are *many* more than that.

Obviously you have not met the CWS/About variant. This cannot be removed
with only HijackThis and the Task Manager, as its process will recreate
any registry entries you delete. Which process? Every process you are
running, thanks to the AppInit_DLLs entry.

Well done. Now go install CWS/About, TVMedia/BHO, CommonName/Comwiz and
HuntBar/WinTools, and see how you get on.

HijackThis is a brilliant tool. But it is not a panacea, and the worst
of the crop are starting to code around the things it can do.
