My computer was infected with Spysheriff, but it may have been affected by other malware as well. How can I be sure that I have all of the files off of my computer. I've followed all of the steps that are mentioned in the "Read this first" post on the Malware forum. I download XP Sp2, i've got hijack this, ZoneAlarm antivirus, ccleaner, ewido security suite (although ewido and ZoneAlarm might conflict, I'm not sure about that) and a couple other files. What about Prefetch? I still have that folder on my computer, so do I need to delete that as well? I've noticed that some users are advised to delete the following files:

"Microsoft Internet Acceleration Utility"="iau.exe"
"Internet Connection Wizard"="stisvsq.exe"
"Games Acceleration"="svshost.exe"
"Internet Mail and News"="msqdevl.exe"
"Microsoft Management Console"="lssas.exe"
"Multimedia extensions"="mservice.exe"

I still have those files on my computer. Should I delete them? Are they part of the Malware, or normal files that are just taken over by the Malware?

I can post a HijackThis log if it's needed.

Welcome to Geeks 2 Go. Sorry about the delay in getting to your post, we have been very busy.

Do you still require help or are your problems resolved.

Please let me know and if you still require assistance, please post a fresh HJT log.
