Autoruns, from SysInternals (recently acquired by Microsoft), is indispensable when removing malware manually.
Autoruns is a standalone utility that does not need to be installed on your system.
It can be simply downloaded, unzipped and run (link below).
This makes is ideally suited for adding to your portable utility collection on your flash drive.
Most of the entries presented in Autoruns are legitimate programs, even if their names are unfamiliar to you.
Keep in mind that some malware is harder to remove than others.
Sometimes the instant that you remove the Autorun entry, the malware that is running replaces the entry.
