    Why am I not seeing any AV software on this system?

    Please disable all anti-virus and anti-spyware programs while we do the following (re-enable when you are finished):

    Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator). This is really HijackThis (select Do a system scan only) and select the following lines but DO NOT CLICK FIX until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right now:
    After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

    Now copy just the bold text below to notepad (Do not include any space above the word REGEDIT). Save it as fixME.reg to your desktop. Be sure the "Save as" type is set to "all files" Once you have saved it double click it and allow it to merge with the registry.
    Make sure that you tell me if you receive a success message about adding the above
    to the registry. If you do not get a success message, it definitely did not work.


    Now use windows explorer to find and delete:
    C:\\DOCUME~1\\ROXYBA~2\\LOCALS~1\\Temp\\herss.exe

    Now tell me what issues you may still be having, if any.

    Thanks TimW, there is no av installed as I don`t use the comp on the net( i have no internet connection at home). The majority of the infections must be from its previous owners.
    I`ve found that the comps main problems are hardware not malware so will be junking it.
    I will save the hard drive though and plan to reformat it and use as backup. I assume this will kill any present infection.

    Cheers

    Yes, it will remove everything once you do a reformat. And you are welcome.
