nasty virus
At the moment im trying to remove a nasty-ass virus off this chicks computer.
now, this particular virus closes folders and other windows not long after you open them.
I thought I was just going to be able to go around to her house and do the old "ad-aware routine" and then it would be good as new 
no such luck 
the virus can't close ad-aware, which is a good thing. but at the same time ad-aware cant seem to remove the gators that it finds. every time we reboot the gators are back as if ad-aware hasn't touched them.
So anyway, I went to work the other day and my mate suggested a virus checker that runs in dos called f-prot (www.f-prot.com)
got it, updated it, ran it, nothing. It didnt find a single thing. I suppose that is because of the fact that it doesnt scan the registry and that is where the gators are hiding.
I can't open the registry and delete the gator-keys because of the fact that it closes the registry as well.
This pain-in-the-ass virus just seems to close all the important stuff.
so the last resort was to goto MSconfig and check out whats happening at startup. Well.... the mother-focker closes MSconfig as well. However, I did manage to keep it open long enough to notice 2 unlabeled checkboxes that were ticked.
sounds like really bad spyware to me.
long story short she is moving out on friday but I need to go around to her house tonight and fix it.
maybe someone has come across something similar?
help would be sooooo appreciated
thanx
