One small unassuming Dell PC... XP Home, can't log on, gives a "system files corrupt" error.

Oh yes, I've seen this one before... Pull hard drive, clean the VX2/Trojan out of system32 and the registry. Fuck you very much, NicTech Networks.

Now it boots. But oh, man...

Kill2Me removed the rest of VX2/Look2Me.
CWShredder found 3 variants.
I ripped 78 things out with HijackThis...

and even after all that...

Ad-Aware found 1759 problems.

Nuke. From. Orbit.

Make that 1800 problems. Ad-aware couldn't get 'em all on the first pass.
And another trip thru HijackThis. Ad-Aware does NOT catch everything!
