| 400562 | 2005-10-31 01:43:00 | Every now and again I get asked to clean up friends machines, and what I find useful is to put the latest F-PROT for dos files onto a dos boot CD, and let it do its stuff. It's not the fastest AV scanner, but it seems thorough, and there is no need to actually start Windows to run it. www.f-prot.com |

At some point (when it is taking far too long) you may just want to take something to back their data on (e.g. USB drive) and just start from scratch. In other words, set it backup with Firefox and Spyware blocking, Firewall etc correctly from the start (and don't make them admin user accounts). Then Ghost it .. so if you have to return.. Bring some user education too :2cents: |
