my steps at spyware/malware/virus removal

First is to run through your add/remove programs list and trash anything that looks like junk (just helps to clean the comp up) I remove all toolbars I find as I've seen some of the vundo variants attach to them for some reason. You can always install them again later so don't worry about it.

2nd thing is to TURN OFF System Restore!!!

3rd go to Start,Run, and type in msconfig and uncheck anything that looks funny from the Startup Tab including IM's for the time being as you will want to restart the computer fast and keep the variants from starting as well.

Load CCleaner (no need to install this, its portable!) and select everything to clean! - http://www.majorgeeks.com/CCleaner_Portable_d5735.html
Load/update Avast Home - http://www.avast.com
Load/update superantispyware - http://www.superantispyware.com
Load/update Malwarebytes - MalwareBytes
Load/update spybot Search & Destroy 1.6 - spybot
Download - msautoruns ms Autoruns

Boot into safemode and set Avast for a bootscan upon restart- preselect it to delete anything it finds etc but don't reboot the computer.

Run ccleaner to remove all junk and crap from your temp files etc.. you will still need to set hidden files/folders to show up in the folder options and browse to your Local folder within your user account and select all files in Temp and temp internet files folder and delete EVERYTHING!

Next run superantispyware full scan..if it finds major things mostly whats found in memory it will require reboot..thats fine reboot and then let avast run its scan and boot into windows normally.

Run MalwareBytes and remove whatever it finds.

Next run msautoruns and again check for anything odd usually not showing a publisher or a looks like this "jaleiwa.exe" etc you get the idea. Just right click on them and delete thats it. Close auto runs and then run spybot to finish up that last ditch scan clean up using it.

Run ccleaner once more then reboot and see where you stand after this point. Keep in mind this may take at least 4hours to complete but it should remove everything if you've done it right!

Good Luck!

Antivir should pick it up.

Do like Sava said, make sure system restore is off.

Run your virus scanner.

Buy a bag of some McDonalds...call Alan, he'll drive down and clean it for some chow.

Yes we assumed you had a scanner or could get to one since you ddint tell us otherwise.

Would you prefer the manual instructions on hunting down the files?

A avast boot scan will not only find them but remove it if you set the settings to do so... I use it daily and hasn't failed me yet..but sounds more like malware than anything.. use the steps I gave you...will take a while but you will be clean afterward.

Do what sava posted (his standard form letter -- heh heh) and you'll be good. I've used that fix several times and it's worked.

Just in case you're wondering where shes at.

She had no virus scanner on her newest lappy, and her browser was hijacked so she couldn't get to a site to download a new scanner.

Then she did, she snagged Avira and last known info was that it was scanning.

Its safe to assume she hasn't run any malware cleaners and may not have any installed even.

And yes I do understand, I sometimes want to shoot myself when helping her too.

Some trojans such as the "Downloader-CDV" I think thats what its called will trash the Userinit logon app in which your system will go into a logon/logoff loop..its rather unavoidable for some reason since any AV seems to kill the infection but trash the file along with it. The only way to fix it is to take a Userinit logon app from a good computer's Windows/System32 folder and copy it on to the infected (now clean) computer's Windows/System32 folder and all is well. Of course you will have to slave the drive to do this or use something like EDR or a bootable disk to get into the files.

I was rather surprised to see after searching for a solution to this problem a while back that nobody's really posted about it but after a little work (several hours of headaches) I figured it out and that fixed it.

After all this time here, and no antivirus or anti-spyware programs installed? We've failed.

Oh boy. Did her last several PCs getting trashed by a virus learn her yet?

Actually I think her last one is still working.
