Good tip Shannon
The Fraudpack one I posted about would not let you run anything, on boot up it would get almost to the desktop, with no icons on the background, and a pop up would show its nasty face. No matter what I did I could not get past that dam pop up. Safe mode would do the same freaking thing. It really locked the computer down by a root kit I believe.
I tried many things from booting from a DVD, to almost throwing it out the window, that didn't even scare it
Booting from a second machine with the C drive from that one attached to a SATA port did the trick tho. At least the machine is now running with out to many problems, besides it being a old HP machine LOL.
Nothing like wasting 2 whole days fixing something like this, all because a user could not resist clicking on some stupid pop up and BAM.
I did look over the machine pretty good after I got it up and running, he was pretty clean in his use. Just had WoW and a few small apps. Browser history showed no bad websites visited that I could see. He was just using crappy virus protect call Bit-Defender that did basiclly nothing. Kaspersky is the only one I use and it seemed to have cleaned him up good.
