SpyShredder : Manual Removal Instruction

Today someone asked me if I could remove Spy-Shredder, as it becomes challenge for him to remove it completely. He said that he dumped AVG Anti Spyware free version on the system and find SpyShredder, and removed it. Although after every restart it reappears again n again.

SpyShredder get installed on your computer without your permission through the use of some Trojans program and other malware. Once installed, the Trojans will display message boxes on your screen stating the following:
