PC boots but nothing works
Ok I got a good one for the pros. I build computers for a living but recently I started to do virus removals, my friend asked me to fix his PC that I built him a year ago and he thinks it’s a virus, so let’s put our thinking cap on for this one.
Here’s what it does and don’t do. It will boot and post goes into windows about 2 minutes then just stops no icons and taskbar only his desktop picture shows, same thing in safe mode. If I let it sit for about 15 or 20 minutes a weird screen saver like picture poops up and says "your approved no credit check". If I hit Cont Alt & Delete a window comes up and says "this has been disabled by your administrator" So I did a windows repair with a HP/Compaq Home disk which is what he has. It completed without any problems but no fix, and I also did the first repair the (chkdsk /repair) command, that didn’t help either. So then I slaved his hard drive on my good pc I know dangerous but I was at the end of my ropes, the program Malwarebytes found 17 problems and Trend found about 7 or so fixed them but still nothing happens. So does anybody have a fix for this one? Once in a while I would like to figure these things out rather than just reloading. Any help would graciously be appreciated, Thanks

Sorry for the delay, but malware seems to be on a high cycle at the moment.
It sounds like the registry is corrupted, have you tried booting to the "Last Known Good Configuration" ?
Yes I tried that also no luck
It sounds very much like that machine is beyond repair at this point, since you are able to slave it and retrieve any data I think the best option is a reinstall.
It will be far quicker and less effort than trying to revive that machine.
I cant even get into safe mode to do a restore. Man this guy is going to explode if I tell him it needs to reload, hes got a lot of programs that dont have the disc anymore.
do you get any access ?

That's looking good now, any problems left ?
Let's see if I can help you keep it that way
First lets tidy up
You can also delete any logs we have produced, and empty your Recycle bin.
Open OTMoveIt Click Cleanup,
it will now connect to the internet and get a list of files to delete.
When a box pops up click YES.
The following is some info to help you stay safe and clean.
( Vista users must ensure that any programs are Vista compatible BEFORE installing )
You may already have some of the following programs, but I include the full list for the benefit of all the other people who will be reading this thread in the future.
Online Scanners
I would recommend a scan at one or more of the following sites at least once a month.
http://www.pandasecurity.com/activescan
http://www.kaspersky.com/kos/eng/partner/71706/kavwebscan.html
!!! Make sure that all your programs are updated !!!
Secunia Software Inspector does all the work for you, .... see HERE for details
AntiSpyware
Different AntiSpyware programs detect different things, so in this case it is recommended that you have more than one.
You should only have one running all the time, the other/s should be used "on demand" on a regular basis.
Most of the programs in this list have a free (for Home Users ) and paid versions,
it is worth paying for one and having "realtime" protection, unless you intend to do a manual scan often.
Prevention
Each does a different job, so you can have more than one
Internet Browsers
Using a different web browser can help stop malware getting on your machine.
If you are still using IE6 then either update, or get one of the following.
Cleaning Temporary Internet Files and Tracking Cookies
Unfortunately, if the site you visit is of a dubious nature or has been hacked, they can also be an entry point for malware.
It is a good idea to empty the Temporary Internet Files folder on a regular basis.
Tracking Cookies are files that websites use to monitor which sites you visit and how often.
A lot of Antispyware scanners pick up these tracking cookies and flag them as unwanted.
CAUTION :- If you delete all your cookies you will lose any autologin information for sites that you visit, and will need your passwords
Both of these can be cleaned manually, but a quicker option is to use a program
Also PLEASE read this article.....So How Did I Get Infected In The First Place
The last and most important thing I can tell you is UPDATE.
If you don't update your security programs (Antivirus, Antispyware even Windows) then you are at risk.
Malware changes on a day to day basis. You should update every week at the very least.
If you follow this advice then (with a bit of luck) you will never have to hear from me again
If you could post back one more time to let me know everything is OK, then I can have this thread archived.
