Greetings David
Not quite good to go just yet - still following up on Blade's final clean up
and beef-up-security instructions, this laptop is used by a couple of teen
boys, so I want to make it as bullet-proof as possible.
All malware appears to have been successfully removed.
108mb of M$ Office updates and all Windows Critical Updates have been
applied.
Spybot is still buggy, it crashes after a scan, no orderly shut-down.
I will reinstall from a fresh download and see how it goes.
Blade has alerted me to a Spybot bug forum if issue persists.
I am currently downloading and will install Comodo BOClean, SpywareBlaster
and iespyad.
The owner has a paid version of Norton which I am not too keen on using, and
will suggest to them that they don't pay again, but switch to a good freebie
AV product - AVG or Avast, unless you have a better suggestion ;)
I have had Norton Firewall enabled, and it has NOT notified me of a number
of programs accessing the internet for the first time, not happy with that.
I want the boys to get an in-your-face warning on that event. To that end I
will install Zone Alarm (again, unless you have another suggestion for a
third party freebie firewall).
I appreciate your time and your interest and your comments David. I have
been a frequent lurker in alt.comp.anti-virus for years, but this is the
first time I needed to seek advice and there it was, freely given. It is a
fine thing to be "information rich" and willing to share. At the risk of
becoming sentimental, a friend of mine once said that the Internet is full
of "random acts of senseless kindness." Guys like you and Blade81 operate
in that spirit.

Thank you for the kind words Martin.
My preference is the Avira's AntiVir over AVG and Avast.

Hi Dave
I did follow the instructions on the sticky, as far as I could (i.e.
Kapersky crashed more than three times and I could not get past that).
Are you suggesting that I should link to my query from the forum waiting
room?
I have not done so yet as the regulation four days have not elapsed :)
Cheers
Martin

Hi Martin:
I have contact with tashi but I am not a member of the spyBot forums so I can't
really tell
you what your next move is.
I am also sorry that nobody has responded yet... not even Tashi. :-(
