Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Hijack.ControlPanelStyle

I have a unique problem.?? Vipre Antivirus missed some malware which "phones home" every minute and 40 seconds, and spike the CPU to 100% for 6-8 seconds on my Windows Server 2008 Entrerprise server.?? This server is virtualized in a VMWare environment, and runs all of our school district DHCP services.?? This is a big deal because if a device is looking for an IP during this 6-8 second period of high CPU utilization, it will just timeout, and assign a local APIPA IP causing our users to have no idea what the problem is...

?

I finally found the problem by installing Malwarebytes, and it is able to remove the malware, here are the pertinent lines from the log entry:

?

Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 x86 NTFS
Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421

?

Registry Values Detected: 1
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer|ForceClassicControlPanel (Hijack.ControlPanelStyle) -> Data: 1 -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.

?

However, the moment that I restart the server, it comes right back.

?

If this was a Windows 7 PC, the forums talk about using the Combofix.exe utility, but it doesn't run on a server.

?

I have looked in the Registry Run Once and Run keys, and found nothing...?? Does anyone know where this bugger might be hiding?

?

Any help would be much appreciated!
