Hi Jeremy,
Yea me too, don't know people manage to get into such a state.
I was able to remove them in the end with trendmicro's hijackthis (free
tool).
The process is:
Boot into safe mode.
Run Hijack this
Remove everything it classes as not normal, you have to the process each of
them manually, you can usually see them dfdaffdf.dll or something...
Check the startup folder and services.
Clear system restore.
Reboot.
Run scan again and remove viruses.
Reboot and run scan again.
Of course be prepared to rebuild the system ;-)
Good free tools for detection and removal is trendmicro's free online
scanner.
Unix virus, what's that ;-) Amazingly Microsoft are going back this way with
powershell and modular install approach with next version(or the one after)
from what I understand, you should be able to install minimum windows and
run it in 128mb of ram. Cough and LOL. Anyway this list is about cruisers,
guess no one is breaking them at the moment
Martin.

Sadly not true. I spent 4 hours last week trying to get some spyware
off my neighbour's PC, and ended up giving up - I think he'll have to
rebuild his system.
And don't be too smug, there *are* viruses for Macs out there.
Now what you *really* need is a room full of Unix machines ... oh, I
suppose that's what you've got now - sort of!
