A downloader in the Dyfuca/Dyfica family typically acts as a tiny dropper: it unpacks or fetches additional adware/PUPs and often leaves behind several persistence points (services, scheduled tasks, browser helpers, registry keys). That behaviour explains why removing a single archive or quarantining one file sometimes looks successful, yet symptoms (or other components) keep coming back. (pcrisk.com)

Good moves so far by (safe-mode delete) and the HijackThis checks referenced earlier — those are exactly the basic first steps. Next-stage checklist (order matters):

  • Isolate the PC (disconnect network) and back up personal files to an external drive you will not leave attached.
  • Turn off System Restore (old restore points can reintroduce malware). Run full scans with an updated AV plus one or two second‑opinion tools (for example Malwarebytes/AdwCleaner and an on‑demand scanner). Use a rescue/rescue-USB if the infection resists while Windows is running.
  • Use Sysinternals Autoruns to review startup/run locations and Sysinternals Handle or Process Explorer to see which process holds a file open; close the handle or stop the process before removing the file. Example: run handle <partial-filename> to find the locker, then stop that process and delete the file. (learn.microsoft.com)

If live‑removal still fails, boot from a trusted rescue ISO (Kaspersky, ESET or similar) and scan/remove offline. If you cannot be certain every persistence mechanism is gone, a clean reinstall is the safest path — especially on older, unsupported Windows installs. After the system is clean, re-enable System Restore and create a fresh restore point, and change all important passwords from a known‑clean device; monitor financial accounts for unusual activity. (kaspersky.com)

Code/tools mentioned above are widely available; use their official downloads and avoid third‑party mirrors.

Reboot into safe mode following the instructions and Clear out your Temporary internet files and other temp files.
Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel >Internet Options.

Under the General tab click the Delete temporary internet files,
delete all Offline content as well. Clear out Cookies.

Also, go to Start > Find/search > Files or folders > in the named box, type: *.tmp and choose Edit > select all -> File > delete.

Empty/delete the entire contents of the C:\Windows\temp folder and C:\temp folder, if you have one. (Contents but not the folder itself.)

This one too if Win2K or XP.
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\

In order to view these files you may have to select 'show hidden files/folders.' Instructions on how to here.

Empty the Recycle Bin.

I've done all the above and extensive cleaning with some tools as CCleaner, biut nothing happened. It is still there!

Try deleting this file in safe mode C:\Windows\nem214.rar

Ok, it seems that the deleting of file is working. I have it in recycle bin. Is this file useful? The PC has no problem for the moment.
Thank you all!

Keep it there for a short while if you are concerned, then delete it when you are sure your PC is ok :).
