Third: Getting rid of the Antivirus 2008 isn't fun. You'll need to scan
with multiple things. I've had good luck with putting the drive into a
machine and scanning with Avast, then AVG, then trendmicro's housecall, then
Malwarebytes Antimalware, then finally using regedit and loading the system
hive and removing the extra crap from the RUN key, then renaming the profile
for the user in the documents and settings folder to something else so they
get a new profile when you log in. Get SDFix and put it on the root of the
drive you're scanning. Put that drive back into the original system and
boot into safe mode. Run the runthis.bat and let sdfix do it's magic.
Miss any of those steps and it will reinstall itself.
Oh, if you try doing it without resetting the profile you'll need to fix
the display policies:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
Remove the NoDisp* ones.
