Infected PC

Looks good. You may now follow steps in post #26 to uninstall not needed programs and to do some securing (if not done already) :)
 
I've now done all of the security steps recommended. I've also got installed and running:-

AVG Free anti-virus (with auto-updates turned on, realtime E-mail and download/opening file scans and daily scans)
ZoneAlarm Free firewall (because i've used it personally for a few years on my PC and it's given me great protection)

As well as SpyBot S&D which i'll be recommending that he runs at least weekly.
 
Yes, i think that all is clean and running very well now. So this is now a closed case.

I'd like to thank you for your time Blade81, i very much appreciate your help.

One last question, earlier on we added the windows recovery console which now comes up as a boot option along with WinXP Home (which i default boots to after so many seconds).

How do i now remove the recovery console?
I think it may be confusing for the PC owner.
 
You're welcome Steven :)

Removal of some infections needs to have recovery console installed. Keeping that in mind it would be better leave it there. It still appears only 2 seconds there.
 
OK then, we'll leave the recovery console alone then.

Once again thank you very much for your time. You guys are great and much appreciated.
