i just spent 2 hours removing various spyware, malware, and a nasty trojan from some woman's computer.
I'd say "shoot me" if i didn't feel such a sense of accomplishment for getting that fucker clean.
mood:  accomplished

adaware wasn't cutting it, nor was manual removal. I had to take that fucker into safe mode and tear it out with my teeth. Eek. Is getting nervous about my shiny new work computer. meh, just never click ok to a pop-up without knowing what it's going to do. ;o) ![[User Picture]](https://l-userpic.livejournal.com/952302/273007) | | From: |  jjjiii |

Boot from Knoppix CD.
Back up data from HD to some other storage area.
Re-image drive with clean image.
Total time invested: perhaps 20 minutes. ah, if only it were that easy.
reimaging a machine at the place I work at takes 4 hours (conservative estimate).

Goodness, are you on ThinNet? Or is there a ton of beaurocratic overhead? the latter. it's a custom winxp image, and lots of additional programs to get added on after that.
Plus the backing up of their stuff always takes about an hour, you know how it is. |
