I am suffering under this virus, and as a Windows Tech I am suprised at how resilant this thing is, and how pervasive it it. I used Hijack this, rid myself of all questionable items... so I felt good there, went to my registry, found an entry, killed it.. went to MSconfig, searched it all, found some in the services I questioned, killed them... found these (just below) in System32, and deleted them successfully in safe mode... however IT LIVES STILL!

C:\WINDOWS\system32\dcomcfg.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\hp100.tmp
C:\WINDOWS\system32\simpole.tlb

Symptoms and signs of it still around:
pop ups saying I am slowing down, and to dl this and that adware/spyware remover
popups for antivurus
Severe slow downs periodically
All internet pages close periodically
Internet crashes 5-8 times an hour (this is frustrating my attempts to DL, on dialup, a antivirus proggy)
Periodical popups of the main subscreen indiciating I have viruses and to goto thier website for the solution
A permament icon in the task bar area next to my clock, interchanging so as to prevent it from being hidden by Windows.
Permament fixed homepage to their site
I also think it is trying to quietly dial on my dialup when it crashes my internet
Refresh does NOT work, instead redirected to a new page, where upon the malware says it blocked it due to innapropriate content.
Caches pages for real, so as to make appear that I am having faster connections to pages such as google (Loads when I am offline, rofl!)
All passwords have been deleted, lol... I think it is probably copying my newly typed ones

I am up against the ropes here, and no known solution to this issue. I give myself to the true pros and hope for an answer.
