Remove Sheldor. Description and removal instructions

Title: Sheldor
Type: Trojans	Severity scale: (34 / 100)

Sheldor is a trojan with adware functionality. Once executed, it installs its files to the system and modifies the registry, so it could run automatically on every Windows startup. Sheldor secretly works in background and deletes all the cookies from web browser's default cookie directory. Then it scans newly accepted cookies for predefined words. When it finds such a word, it displays advertisements with adult content. Use anti-spyware software to completely remove this threat or manually delete its files (located in C:\Windows\System, C:\Windows\System32 or C:\Winnt\System32) and corresponding registry entries.
