Viruswebprotect 2008

Nastiest virus Ive EVER seen - snook into my daughter's comp via a Dled (from bittorent)game, which she DIDscan with AVG.
Sh was playing the game - paused it to goto lunch, came back - all hell had broken loose

Things Ive found-out so far about it and things its done to us.
1/ IF we can get Windows Explorer up, we cant see the C: drive
2/ cant get windows explorer up anyways, its taken it off the Start menu.
3/ its also removed the "all programs" tab from start menu - so we cant directly start progs.
4/ the execute tab is also gone - so cant get DOS mode
5/ Config screen, network, etc section gone as well.
6/ We've lost all administrator privilages
7/ We cant Alt.CTRL/Del to get Task manager
8/ Safe mode wont start - after about 10-20 seconds on black screen , system reboots.
9/ AVG cannot find it
10/ SuperSpyWare cannot find it
11/ Can NOT access any web pages - wont allow us _ BUT
12/ DAREN'T access web pages anyways as
13/ Its inviting an external attack.
14/ keeps trying to start IE by giving false virus messages then wants to report them. Another way of inviting an attack.
15/ According to write-ups it also has its own SMTP system.
16/ its remapped the keyboard (just incase we do get the web browser to work), Ive found the : -eventually- but still cant find the / )
17/ hangs when I try system restore
18/ When starting safe-mode I get a message at bottom of screen something like "if you dont want to run SPDT.SYS then press ESC" - pressing of which apears to have no effect. This is not surprising as the messsage is in English - my daughters comp is in Dutch.

As I say - SuperVirusprotector DID find a lot of stuff - some of which obviously belonged to it - it APPARENTLY deleted it all, however - after a reboot it was still there.
Fortunately - it seems I still have some of my old (VERY OLD - I was a system cracker for a NATO project 30 yrs ago) hacking skills. I managed to access the C-disc (using Mozilla) and deleted all its control files and renamed -wouldnt let me delet it- the .exe) - it doesnt appear to start-up now

SO - now "all" ive got to do is undo all its damage - dammed if I know how to do that as the key is probably getting back into Administrator mode first - which - without an administrator could be a challenge.

 

Re: Viruswebprotect 2008 - latest status

I realised I must still have Administrator privilages or I couldnt have installe the scan prog. Ive now managed to re-instate most of the start menu.
my main problems now are
1/ Still cant boot safe mode - reboots after about 25-30 seconds of blank screen
2/ STILL cant see the C: disk on Windows explorer, and yet I CAN scan it with AVG etc.
3/ no idea how to get Task manager screen back - cant get it by either Ctrl/alt/del or Ctrl/shift/esc
4/ Cant get teh all progs tab on Start - though thi scould be a manifestation of making C: visable.
5/ cant get the logoff, suspend buttons on start either
6/ Cant get Windows explorer on start - so i have to 1st go to config
7/ have found the ANNOYING message "VIRUS ALERT" at bottom right (beside clock) is coded into the My computer, properties screen, 2 lines under computer name. Would lik eto get that off as well.
