Think that was for Kosser.

Probably was. My quick reply box doesn't seem to be working today. Better clear my cache.

Found another boot disk image from a Mr. Hiren - with rootkit killers and AV on. However there doesn't seem to be anywhere to download it on their site. :C

Here's an alternative download.

Edit - 'Course this is assuming you've got an optical drive in the machine and it's setup to boot from it somewhere in the boot order before the hard drive.

Can you F8 to boot to a command prompt and then do format c:? that'd get rid of it!

(or from a Windows CD, as I imagine you probably can't format the drive the OS is running from.)

I've generally found a clean reinstall is faster, easier and more reliable than trying to av through it. The severity of the issue suggests it may have been root kitted.

I wanted to avoid that due to some software we probably don't have media for but I think tomorrow I'm going to wipe it and start from a clean install. My preferred option every time.
