I got hit with a nasty virus (on XP SP3) that did not allow me to

and popped in a USB stick with a software that he said "froze" the
virus, allowing the use of the peripherals. From there is was a
simple matter to system restore and clean out with AV.
I didn't get to ask him the name of the software. Anyone ever heard
of this and what it is called?
You could remove the virus, or prevent it from loading, but that
wouldn't freeze it.
