Thanks for all the comments (and thanks John!).
We had a project on the table to create a bootable version but the
enormous task of getting the new VIPRE 4 out has precluded any
development for the time being. However, I will push for it to get
picked up as a project once 4.0 is out the door (late Q4/early Q1).

Another reason for Sunbelt to come out with a USB flash drive based
version of the Viper for techs to use in cases like this. To be honest
no one has this but since Sunbelt is one of the few companies that
listen to us tech's I keep hoping they will develop this for us.

Nahh... I already nuked the System Restore. I know that's where a lot of
malware likes to hide itself, so one of the first things I do when
cleaning a machine is turn off system restore until I'm done cleaning.
Then I'll turn it back on... J Besides the way this thing was hosed, I'm
surprised I was even able to get VipreRescue to load. The malware on
there tried to stop it, but fortunately, it wasn't able to . J

Try a System Restore and then run VIPRE PC Rescue and/or Malwarebytes.

Well, I may still end up rebuilding this laptop, but at least I'll be
able to save the user's files, etc. I'm re-running Rescue now, from a
safe-mode command prompt. After that, I'll reboot and try re-installing
MalwareBytes and see what, if anything, it comes up with. Right now I'm
so sick of AVG I'd rip it out in a heartbeat if I could!

+1... As we are forced to use SymanCRAP here, VipreRescue has saved me
from having to rebuild several times this last year.

I just want to send out a big "Thank you" to Sunbelt for VipreRescue!
One of my users was infected with AntivirusPro and I couldn't get
MalwareBytes to run, so I downloaded VipreRescue, burned it to a CD and
installed it on the infested laptop (which was constantly popping up
full-screen porno!) After a couple hours, VipreRescue is still running,
but the pornos have stopped popping up and the Antivirus Pro icon is not
in the system tray any longer! J
