| 1106549 | 2010-06-04 06:27:00 | Example of a clean out, that took most of the day on a customers PC, that had avast, yet the PC was obviously infected. Uninstalled Avast. Run the following programs one after the other, fully updated, each scan took approx 1 3/4 - 2 Hours (apart from TR, that took about 5 minutes) Results from the program along with the number of malware after the name, then a Virus Scan with Nod32. (all with system restore turned off) Removed known malware infections Trojan Remover -- 18 then Malware Bytes --- 45 then Spybot S&D ---79 then Super Antispyware - 9 then Combofix --- 3 Then a Scan with Nod32 antivirus -----14 Avast said the PC was clean -- HA! :eek: Running another program now - Still scanning est time left 2.5 hours so far at 1/4 way through --- clean Edited: still have to fix the damaged system files as some are obviously damaged, as well as update the PC from XP SP2 >> SP3 and run other program updates. In this case reinstalling is not an option -- as some of the programs, while legit, can not be reinstalled as the CD's are lost and the programs are used a lot so the person said. Just out of curiosity WT, how much would you normally charge (ballpark figures) for a <ahem> longer than "30 minute :rolleyes:" job like this? |

Charge Like a wounded Bull :devil :lol: Narrr Seriously,---- I dont charge for bench time, only time worked, so something like this would be 1.5 - 2 hours worth. That includes me collecting the PC, Cloning the drive so nothing is lost - just in case it all turns to sh1t (99% of people don't have backups) then taking it back, setting it back up and making sure all the internet is working at their place, as well as any peripherals (printers etc) are working OK still. I prefer to do the clean out at the workshop - as I tell them you want me sitting on my butt for 5-6 hours watching data tick over I will-- BUT you will be charged an hourly rate. Times $$ Doing them at the workshop I can have up to 4 going at once. (I Have 4 work stations) Like today I had 2 going at the same time. |
