I just tried Kevins solution - seems to have worked fine. Only thing is when you boot in safe mode, I had to select safemode with networking inorder to sign on. Thank you kevin.

I am by no means an expert on these malware issues but maybe someone here who is can rationalize how I managed to clear this so simply. What i did was this; First i restarted the system in safe mode second i found the Core.cache.dsk file then i changed its file extension to .txt (Core.cache.txt) I then opened the file with notepad and deleted its contents and saved it then i changed its extension back to .dsk (Core.cache.dsk) and opened the properties dialog and made it read only. I downloaded the free version of Superantispyware and let it do its thing and viola the system was clean even after several reboot checks.

Restart. Solved. Basically leaving it in read only mode disables it and renders it harmless. Happy surfing. Start pc in safe mode. Remove from file types dsk (tools/folder options/file types).
