Reoccurring instances (9) of DropSpam in Windows 2000 Server

I am finding 9 instances of DropSpam when running Spy-Bot S&D each week. These instances coincide with a slow down of internet related services and IE 6 locking up. It seems that there may be a file resident that is reloading this spyware on boot. Two of the keys that SPyBot is finding are:
 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\ANSMTO.MassSender
 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\ANSMTO.MassSender1

This entry can be removed if you are uncertain as to its purpose.
D:\Program Files\SpamButcher\spambutcher.exe
This entry should be removed.
R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - - (no file)
Another instance of spambutcher that can be removed if you do not know its origin.
O4 - Startup: SpamButcher.lnk = D:\Program Files\SpamButcher\spambutcher.exe
Other than that your log file is clean.
I suggest that you download and update Malwarebytes from
www.malwarebytes.org
Reboot into Safe Mode and scan.

The Spambutcher program is my email checker and the problem did not become visible until at least a year after that one was loaded. I will run the combofix program and post the results.
Okay great. Please don't forget to run Malwarebytes as well.
I found some more information on this junk here.

I've used the Combofix and Malwarebytes and they cleaned the server up! Thanks for the additional links also, they will be helpful.
