Daughter returned from college and was infected with "Odyssey". To remove
have scanned PC with Spy Sweeper (in Safe mode), Norton Anti-virus (in Safe
mode), removed software through Control Panel, deleted files on PC, edited
registry and still it continues to return. Guidance on how to remove would
be appreciated.
