ssk.exe surfsidekick

Hi Folks:
I'm working on a laptop. It 'had' LOADS of virii, adware,
spyware, you name it, it had it. Using MS Antispy, Trendmicro, Spybot
I think he installed, Ive seem to gotten down to one program, SSK.EXE.
I can't start in SAFEMODE because the password doesn't work. SAFEMODE
with NETWORKING logs in, but SSK.EXE is running already by this time.
I don't see it in the Task Manager, and almost everything else in Task
Manager can't be stopped. There isn't alot of stuff.. One is
KEEPSAFE that looks suspicious.
If logged in, even via Safemode/Networking, and Network Jack
plugged in (on the net), it eventually loads more adware junk. I've
used MSCONFIG to disable everything in Startup and Services, SSK still
runs. It keeps coming back in the registry. I'm assuming it's changing
the registry back on shutdown. MSAntiSpy keeps finding it, but it
can't delete it. I can see it trying, 3 times ort so, but no go. I
can't stand this *** virus/adware! Sucks! Glad it's not my
machine.

He said he uses the internal WiFi to browse at home, and watched
it load all kinds of stuff he couldn't keep up with.

I'm assuming something with Networking is loading this. I tried
installing IE6 from the MS site. Doesn't work. Gives excuses..
any help appreciated. You guys are great!
Take Care!
Harry
