If she goes to control panel, is the firewall disabled??

If she presses Ctrl-Alt-Del, does task manager open??

If she goes to start/run and types in regedit, does regedit open?

Thats if shes using XP

661362 2008-04-22 11:09:00 Firewall not disabled, task manager opens after about 10 seconds and regedit opens jnsbs (13656)
661363 2008-04-22 11:11:00 Thats a good sign then !

Just check the system out with trojan remover

661364 2008-04-22 11:16:00 msn seems to be blocking out links, everytime i post the link to trojan remover, this thing comes up saying "here, this picure is GREAT for your desktop wallpaper." along with Picture_971.zip

Changed display name to that link, she's downloading now....

661365 2008-04-22 11:47:00 Ok... TR has finished scanning, picked up one thing, got rid of that, she signed out of msn then back in, virus is still there...... so go to the file menu/scan drive, highlight c and click start scan? or should i ask her again to post a HJT log? jnsbs (13656)
661366 2008-04-22 11:51:00 so go to the file menu/scan drive, highlight c and click start scan?

Try the above first and scan the whole hdd (If there's more than 1 partition, scan all of them). Remember to select all options under the utilities menu

If either of these, dont pick up anything, it may pay for her to post a HJT log

There's not much else we can do if she doesnt

661367 2008-04-22 12:06:00 she's scanning again, but won't be back on until tomorrow... she said she'll post a HJT then.

Thanks for your help! (again) :)

661370 2008-04-23 11:49:00 After running TR again for the second time, computer was restarted, she signed onto msn this morning and it didn't come up..... signed in again tonight and still not there, so looks like that did the trick :)

zqwerty, thanks - I have bookmarked that site for future reference!

This site is great.... better than the ones on the trademe message boards, never had any luck with them! :D ;)

Thanks again!!
