techrecovery | Why of course I trust it! I popped up on my computer! (Reply)

Get a call at 6:15 (I'm barely out of bed) "OMFWTFBBQ!!11! Someone has sent us up the virus!"

Of course they left in ON and connected to all the shares, but it's not that type, fortunately. Just a "Buy our Spyware product! Er, Spyware REMOVER! REALLY!" Smit variant, I think, but the stuff I used on the LAST hit aren't working. God, I hate that damned thing. But I'm not sure because it's not really TELLING me anything! I delete directories of crap, find one that's got

Task manager disabled.
Background changed to Active Desktop (Hate that damned thing too) saying OMGWTFBBQ!!1! YOU BE INFECTED CLICK HERE!!!
Every two minutes one of four windows pops open to tell me to pay their extortion to get this crap off the machine.

Crap, I don't have TIME for this.

Symantec ignores it. Fuck
SpybotS&D kills some of the components, not the re-seeder. Fuck.
All the components keep coming back. Double Fuck.
AdAware2007 is useless. Fuck.

I'm considering telling the cheap bastards they've got to buy a new one because I don't have two days to wipe and reinstall their crap.

I need to find a virus maker so I can kick him in the nuts. Repeatedly.
