    Open HijackThis and select Do a system scan only.

    Place a check mark next to the following entries: (if there)

    O4 - HKLM\..\Policies\Explorer\Run: [0BmYOzu2C8] C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ipmbeben\ivojezgh.exe

    Important: Close all windows except for HijackThis and then click Fix checked.

    Exit HijackThis.
