support.kaspersky.com

If it doesnt boot into windows normally, boot into safe mode / networking

Also, if its an autorun worm (if she uses flash drives) scan them / write protect them. Because if she uses them / and theyre infected, they'll re-infect the system again (if you plug it into a USB port)

1217975 2011-07-23 09:00:00 Hi,
My daughter ran SpyBot and found nothing.

She also ran AdAware and found a "Worm" which she deleted and can not find the log for it so does not know which worm it was.

she downloaded "Malware bytes " and ran this, the log is attached
she deleted this and hopes that this fixed the problem.

1217976 2011-07-23 09:05:00 I am suggesting that she does :-

support.kaspersky.com

With the help of her Techy brother in Wgtn.

1217977 2011-07-23 09:23:00 Also run this www.bleepingcomputer.com It'll terminate any running malware processes

You only need one (get rkill.exe). The other renamed ones are in case (if its malware), it may terminate rkill's process

1217978 2011-07-23 11:41:00 OK Guys, Summary to date :-

She ran SpyBot which found nothing.
She then ran Ad aware which found a Worm.
She quarantened this and deleted it, unforunately she didn't note which worm it was.
She then ran Malware Bytes which found a Trogan which was quarentened and deleted.
Log file is in above posting.

The lappy has now been running in normal mode for 6 1/2 hours without a problem.

She doesn't use usb run disks

If further problems occur I will get her to run

support.kaspersky.com and

www.bleepingcomputer.com has suggested by Speedy G.

stay tuned, many thanks to all. Phil.

1217979 2011-07-25 11:33:00 Hi Guys,
Well, the lappy has been running properly now for two days so we are assuming that it is fixed due to the two nasties removed mentioned above.

If this proves not to be the case I will get my daughter to run the repair programs mentioned by Speedy in the postings above.

I will report back if this is necessary so keep a watch for the "Daughter needs help" thread.

Many thanks to all that helped with this problem.

Cheers,
hil.

I have passed your suggestion on. The laptop should handle both those OK, it is fairly high spec'ed. We got it for her Design degree.
Cheers, Phil.
