Eric,
I ran an online antivirus scan from RAV Antivirus (www.ravantivirus.com). This showed
me all of the viruses I had but did not clean anything. After it found all of the
viruses, I copied all of the exe names (for example WUAUMGR.exe) it had found to
notepad.
From there I went to regedit and did a "find" for all of the exe's on my list and
deleted every instance of them from the registry. I then did a normal Windows search
and deleted every instance of them on the computer. I then rebooted to a well working
computer.
This was time consuming but it removed the viruses. I re-ran the RAV online scan
to make sure I was clean. It found the same viruses in the "System Restore" (WinXP),
so I turned it off which resets and deletes the restore information.
Hope this helps...
Don
