w32.xabot virus

by leighoneills . Updated 20 years, 11 months ago

Ok, my friend bought a new computer and the dick goes straight to p2p and gets his computer infected. Ive cleaned most but w32.xabot.worm remains.
I have started in safe mode to use regedit, doesnt work. Tried the UnhookExec.inf download but it doesnt work either, doesnt work in safe mode either.
Tried all sorts of online scans, most are disabled but the ones that arent wont clean it.
Tried downloading obscure registry editors that the virus doesnt defend against but cant find one to do the job of letting me manually edit the registry, except for registry workshop which i can view and change the registry with but the entries I change re-appear as soon as move to another hkey folder.
I dont want to have to format his computer and start from scratch, so if anyone can help me Id be grateful
