The instructions at this site are as follows:

1. Temporarily Disable System Restore (Windows Me/XP).
2. Download Sysclean by Trendmicro and save it to a directory on your Desktop.

3. Download the latest Pattern Files of Trendmicro and save it to the same location as the Sysclean. Pattern file is in Zip format such as lptxxx.zip (AS/400, S/390, Windows)

4. Extract the contents of the lptxxx.zip on the folder where Sysclean in located.

5. Reboot computer in SafeMode [how to]

6. If it requires you to login please use the login name with administrative rights. Without this privilege, Sysclean will not delete/clean infected files located on System folder.

7. Browse the Sysclean folder on on your Desktop and Double-click Sysclean to run and do a full system scan. This may take time.
