My uncles PC

[themoomin]

Hi, A while ago, my uncle bought a new pc running windows xp home edition. Since then, various members of my family have downloaded spyware laden files. It takes about 1 hour to boot up and launch AOL 9.0. I have used Ccleaner, AVG, Norton and adware to no avail.

Could somebody please help me?

I have been contemplating installing kubunto 6.06 but aol wont work on linux and my uncle has discarded his OEM of XP and his restore disks.

Hi Matthew and welcome to the forum. Have you fixed your problems? If not I will see what I can do, please start like this.

1) Follow the instructions in this link which you must have missed:

http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288

Post the results of the free online scan, several choices are available in the link.

2) Use one or more of these free online scanners to scan this item and post the results:

Because of where it is running from, it is probably a very nasty trojan, that is why you are scanning it:

TaskMon
Filename: taskmon.exe
Command: Unknown at this time.
Description: Added by the MYDOOM.A or MYDOOM.J WORMS!
