Working on an infected box
He?s running XP Home
Whatever he?s got it will not let me install any antivirus software (naturally) I receive an error message that says that the Microsoft installer is not running and that I may be in safemode. I am able to install other apps.
I shared out his HD and mapped it on my computer and scanned his HD with my AV software. I found about 30 infections but was not able to remove them due to permission/authentication issues.
I was able to install threat fire (cant update DB tho) I was also able to run smitfraud fix, but it didn?t fix anthing. I ran a recent copy of Stingger on it and it cleaned up 20 items.
My most recent attempt was installing Spybot S&
I need a IDE/SATA to USB adapter
Anybody have any more ideas before I give up and FDISK?
