Still having trouble with the dual boot second drive Win Vista Business booting up... I need that for the Water Association that the wife and I run. kdcom.dll error. I finally got Vista Home going by creating a new user and setting Spybot SD 2 to run. It seemed to shut the virus down but not remove the files. The files were still in the All Users\programdata folder. It also hijacked my mail shortcut icon and would restart if I clicked that. It has taken away my admin priveleges in that I can not copy or remove system files. I haven't found the extent of the full damage yet but at least it is running. I have everything backed up and might still end up doing a full reinstall due to the drive churning away all the time. This has got to be the biggest pain in the ass virus of all time.... bar none. I will not let it win though...... Joe, I usually don't run a virus program in the background to to resource useage. I just download a free one and go to it. This was a tough one and happened very fast. Icons flashed away and came back on the desktop once.....did it once more... then bang!!!! System Check came up and started running. It will not turn off or minimize. I thought for a sec it was legit because I fired up a virus program but it caught me off guard and by the time I saw it wasn't right it was too late.

Last year I caught a bug that Norton wouldn't fix and downloaded a freeware from IOBIT called Advanced System Care. So far it's killed several viruses that Norton let slip by. I upgraded to the paid version and it's a great program for keeping your system clean and running at peak performance. It even has a game boost mode that shuts down non-vital programs while you're gaming, and it keeps your registry cleaned up as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
