599801 2007-10-10 03:30:00 Just got in the most infected PC I've seen in 3 years.
It has everything.

I'm currently in Safe Mode, Sys Admin account and still locked out of most things.

All the exciting malwares................their AV is 5 years out of date too.

How do people leave it like that for so long??:badpc:

599802 2007-10-10 03:31:00 The AV wouldn't happen to be Norton would it? --Wolf-- (128)
599803 2007-10-10 03:33:00 Sounds like the laptop I fixed. Had 300+ trojans on it.

Had no option, but to create the restore cds and restore the OS.

599804 2007-10-10 03:38:00 Of course its Nortons!!!

Nah, a reinstall is admitting defeat, I'm getting there. Got Control Panel back now.
I'll just scan with everything to make sure. Told her she won't have it back until tomorrow sometime.

The worst one I had had 1069 infestations. Now that really was stuffed. Only time I ever did a reinstall, I celaned it - it was a Win98 PC, but it was screwed up after so I wiped it and re-did it all.

She managed to reinfest it again 2 months later.........

Makes me wonder what people do with their computers....I'm surprised it wasn't a lonely guy with a credit card.....and lots of free time.

Only thing I use a credit card for is iTunes Music Store.
