3. Select ‘Properties’ from the menu and highlight the ‘Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)’ option.

Above steps ensures that you are not going through a malicious DNS server in Internet Explorer and other browsers. Now you need to clean out the registry :
1. Please run your computer in “Safe Mode with Networking” mode. Please note that this virus protects itself in the normal mode, therefore booting up your PC in safe mode is required.
2. Please click on Start—>Run and type “regedit” and click on OK. This will show registry editor. Please find and delete these registry keys :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\pezfile
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\pezfile
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.exe\shell\open\command “(Default)” = "%UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data\pw.exe” /START “%1″ %*
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\pezfile\shell\open\command “(Default)” = "%UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data\pw.exe” /START “%1″ %*

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center “AntiVirusOverride” = "1″
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center “FirewallOverride” = "1″
3. Please locate and delete these infected files and dlls from your computer.

Please carry manual removal steps under some serious supervision of a family member or an expert friend.
