"ISTsvc" still won't go away.............

I tried the suggested approach from Dave L., running it 2 or 3 times. I did
catch 1
"trojan" on the second try, but after I rebooted and turned back on the
restore and again rebooted, wala.... there in the programs sublibrary was the
good ol
"ISTsvc.exe". which of course doesn't allow me to rename it and delete it.
or just delete it. It also showed back up in the registery. Anything else
I can do?????
