Due to its stealthing functionality, removal of Troj/SpamToo-AY will require the use of Sophos Anti-Rootkit. When scanned using this tool, a computer infected with Troj/SpamToo-AY will report an "Unknown hidden process" and a "Hidden registry value" both referring to a hidden file. Additionally, many legitimate Windows system files will also be reported as hidden that should not be removed. Therefore, select clean-up for only the file referred to as a hidden process.

Troj/SpamToo-AY uses stealthing functionality in order to hide its operations; refer to "additional recovery instructions" for removal information.
