There is a another quicker way of getting rid of these AOCTRES files.
I know you must have tried Spybot and Ad-aware6 and none of them were
able to remove these tyrant files off your computer. The darn things
just hijack your browser.
Anyhow, here is the procedure:
1) Locate the files in C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32
2) Right Click and choose properties
3) Choose the security tab and Uncheck "Allow inheritable...."
4) Then Deny ALL permissions for all users for all functions
5) Do the above with both files, AOCTRES.DLL and AOCTRES.CPY.DLL
This will prevent the computer from loading these files at boot up
6) Reboot
7) Now you can go and delete both these stupid files and you are done.

Let me know here if it worked for you. Worked for me after spending 3
days of trying different software to remove adware etc.
