my friend 4 houses down finally splurged for a wireless card and
finally got Internet connection for the very first time in his life.
now i warned him about getting all the necessary windows updates (which
i would assume be to many to mention), some anti spyware and a good
anti virus program. well, to cut a long story short, he is now
infected with a virus or spyware. i need to know if anyone recognize
any of these virus/spyware characteristics in order to remove this
malware from his pc.
first, some icons have changed shortcut paths for example, i click on
internet explorer and i find myself in the recycle bin directory.
if i select file the mouse hand will zip back and forth really fast
from file to help and not stop.
if i hit the task manager, after a few seconds it will not let me see
the processes tab at all.
cannot shut down because it will not move from the cance selection.
when i tried to install some anti virus/anti spyware program it will
not let me add a check mark to the agree/disagree box.
when i click on my computer it will stay stuck on the floppy drive and
will not let me browse my root drive.
when i reboot the computer, after pushing the f8 button more than
enough times to go into safe mode but it just ignores the command to go
to safe mode.
i did manage to install windows defender but couldn't successfully
update it because it will stay stuck on the 'checking for updates'
prorgress bar.
well i figured i would get the update from setting my automatic updates
which will gladly give me the latest def's for windows defender. but
it would not let me select a day and time to get updates because it
would not let me select accept or ok.
so if anyone recognizes these characteristics please let me know what
piece of malware i am facing.
before anyone suggest or ask "what does his anti virus or anti spyware
program say?" well, he never installed any type of protection. now it
has become a characteristic of this virus/spyware because i cannot
install any type of anti spyware/virus. remember my friend has never
been on the internet. so i understand him being a dumb ass and getting
infected!

Did you already try another mouse and keyboard?

Chances are his hard drive has more crap on it than a bukaki whore's
face. Just reformat it, add an adequate AV/spyware combination and
tell him to use some common sense. If that doesn't work, tell him he's
too stupid to own a computer and let him fend for himself.
