Guest Bill Ridgeway Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 OK, this thread has been going for a while so I guess the big question is "Is there a definitive procedure(s) for getting rid of malware? I guess the answer is no! Bill Ridgeway Quote

For those items where there is no identification or removal instructions, use the methods (or similar) outlined in the video: Advanced Malware Removal -Mark Russinovich http://www.microsoft.com/emea/spotlight/ Down near the bottom.

My conclusion was that it's high time I invested in a new machine. style_emoticons/ Dave -- Quote
