This particular user is unlucky enough to have teenagers who use his computer. My guess is they are visiting infected/hostile/0wned sites and that's how he's getting infected. Never really had a problem when he was working here, so I'm suspecting it's some of his grandkids that are causing the problem. As I have not yet seen the problem, I don't know if it's going to be easy or difficult. Hopefully MBAM and Vipre won't have any problem with it. :D Thanks again!

Continual re-infestation either means he is unlucky, or gung-ho in his browsing. I've had some fake AVs recently which were ridiculously easy to get rid of (kill process, delete files, remove autorun entry). Others have been more stealthy - such as killing targeted windows like Task Manager. Booting into safe mode usually prevents these extra "features" from bothering you. But as with everything - a reimage may be the only way to be sure.

I've already got Vipre Rescue and Malware Bytes on a memory stick. I've also got RKILL. I haven't had to deal with any fake antivirus in a few weeks. Just wondering if they have developed any new tricks recently that I should be aware of? Oh, this user had Vipre Home on his PC, and got infested anyway. Should I submit samples to Sunbelt (assuming I can find where they're quarantined)???
