Thanks to both of you for your help. I've kicked most of the 50+ viruses,
trojans, spyware, etc, etc, that my 15 year old nephew downloaded with his
with "free" software from Kaaza. What a mess!
Here'a an update on your suggestions:
Multi AV tool worked beautifully (like it's ability to remove infected files
as it scans vs waiting until the end to remove). I used McAfee and Trend and
removed most of the spyware and trojans.
MS AntiSpyware- running it in Safe mode did the trick! The freezing was due
to its using up a LOT of memory. I was impressed that MAS picked up a number
of trojans and spyware that Multi AV, Adaware, Spybot, Stinger didn't
...among them lolita, armageddon, coolwebsearch and a bunch of others I can't
recall right now.
Thanks again, both suggestions were extremly useful.
