How to remove "Hijack.ControlPanelStyle"

[drumsaudio]

Greetings, 

 

I need assistance removing "Hijack.ControlPanelStyle", an element of a Trojan virus that the malwarebytes report says would delete on reboot, but it stays on the system and shows up in subsequent MWB scans. I've seen this on several systems in our organization in the past 4 months as a part of different viruses.

 

I've read differing accounts of what this is and what its potential liabilities are. I'd like to know what this is and how to repair or remove it from this and future occurrences of it.

 

Below is the report following the initial scan of malware found. Thank you for the assistance!
