Maybe. The last one I saw, about a month ago, was easily taken care of by quite an old version of
the fix utility.
I was quite surprised. I didn't even need to use Safe Mode, AFAIR.

I have to say I'm always suspicious of anyone who emails out executable
files uninvited.

In the end, as there wasn't any valuable data on this particular laptop, it
was simpler just to do a re-install from an image disk. A heck of a lot
quicker too! The laptop had other issues as well and was probably overdue
for a windows reinstall anyway.

Thanks anyway.

First of all you really need to learn what an executable file is. I did not
send you an executable file. Secondly uninvited? you asked for help I gave
you help. I could have just as easily gave you manual removal instructions
but then you don't know the difference between an executable file and a zip
file. You asked for help and was given help if not by me then by Jen, which
will just give a diagnostic, but at any rate those downloads are executables
not mine. Oh and BTW my Remove-it software would have cleaned your daughters
computer in 5 minutes which *is* much faster then a re-install.

You think it wise to open a zipped file from an unknown person?

I *didn't* ask for mystery parcels in my email. A link would have been
fine.

Which is exactly the sort of advice I was looking for but no, you wanted to
plug your product.

I do, but I still wasn't about to open a zipped filed email uninvited from a
complete stranger.

So you say. Several other products have claimed the same thing. It was by
believing in unsubstantiated claims that the PC got infected in the first
place.

YOU need to learn some email manners. Always *ask* before sending
attachements to strangers, particularly when the subject concerns computer
viruses. You've done your company no favours.

Having looked more closely at what you sent me I have to ask, what kind of
person considers an executable inside a zipped folder not an executable?

Pot, kettle, black.

You are one of those people who are too smart (you think) for your own good.
You are also a hypocrite, First you wrongly complain about a zip file. Then
you complain because the zip file contains an executable yet you are willing
to download an executable had I given you a link, which I did but you didn't
notice it. If I wanted to "plug my product" then I would have sent you a non
working trial version that you have to have pay for to in order for it to
work. Look I do this for free, I can care less whether you use my software
or not but think next time you speak and don't criticize something you know
nothing about like malware.

No I didn't. It contained an executable. YOU lied about the file.

I might have. Given what I've found out about you by googling, never in a
million years.

An you know nothing about netiquette.

Someone who steals software and re-issues it under his own name is hardly
likely to be a trustworthy source of software. It seems my caution was
absolutely justified.

Show me what I stole smart ass. You seem "100% sure" I stole something
because of what you read show me what I stole. You are nothing but a big
headed smart ass who felt embarrassed because you don't know the difference
between a zip file and an exe file. You are too dumb and stupid to realize
that every piece of software you install on a windows box is an executable.
Netiquette is when I zipped the file up as to not send you an executable.
Spyware Blaster, Ad-aware, Avast, SuperAntiSpyware, Windows defender and
Trend Micro Housecall are executable files you dummy. So don't try to bitch
and complain about a zip file that contains an executable. You are WRONG!
you are a bigheaded FOOL! and you should have Googled before you started it
up with me and you would have known that I don't take shit from no one
especially from some idiot like you who thinks I'm a thief. You are a lamer,
who probably got an email from the troll Leythos, who told you to format
your system because that is the only way to be "100% sure" and since you
both have the same mentality you agreed. Now fuck off and get lost before I
embarrass your ass again.

How about that last link you posted just a couple hours ago? Aha,

You couldn't embarrass your way out of a paper bag...
