I didn't save the logs before I lost access to everything
As I remember there were quite a few random lettered, extensionless
files, which I presume were the Quarantined ones, especially amongst
system files, but I managed to get the thing so corrupted trying to find
and save all of them that it would no longer even boot. Not having a way
to reload any previous images, I ended up returning it in exchange for
another computer. As it was less than a week old I was able to swap it
straight across as an inoperative unit.
The DOS version of format.com I had on floppy was wrong so I couldn't
use it but was able to fdisk away the NTFS partition leaving a bit of
obscurity for anyone that tries to see what's on it.
I know that MBAM was able to overcome all the crippling the Vundo and
other Trojan Downloaders had wreaked so that I wouldn't hesitate to
recommend it to careless (yes, that's how that shit happens) clickers.
