Hey guys!
Would like to firstly say thanks for looking at my post and (hopefully) having the time to reply. Really appreciate it!
I have recieved the 'Antivir Solution Pro' trojan/virus. I could not access any program; Internet, Windows Defender, CCleaner... ANYTHING! So I went on my mothers laptop and found many sites that recommended entering safe mode with network capabilities. I have, and am currently on the infected laptop typing this post.
Many sites suggest downloading Spyware Doctor, but as I do not own a credit card and my mother does not trust entering details online, I have had to resort to doing it manually! (Unless there are free programs about I don't know about?)
I tried to follow this sites way of manually removing it (http://www.411-spyware.com/remove-antivir-solution-pro) but just got waaay to scared when it came to deleting the registry bits. I deleted the 'files' section, and am quite comfortable I deleted the right one. The only other thing I deleted was the 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\avSofT' in the registry folder, but it was named like 'AVSolutions' instead of 'avSofT'. Once again I am quite comfortable. But then I am having troubles deciding what are all the others, so this is as far as I went and the only files I deleted.
I am currently running a Windows Defender full system scan over night, so I shall see how that goes.
I have tried to help you by downloading the 'OTL' but it says access denied?
EDIT: Am currently running Vista Business
