Another useful tool in these situations is Stinger. Regains control of the machine. With LSP Fix you then have access to support from the internet to clean the machine. It still leaves you reliant on a 56 kb modem in some situations, which can be limiting for larger downloads but there you are.
Download Stinger from here and run it to make sure that A-V-disabling viruses are not present on your PC
http://download.nai.com/products/mcafee-avert/stinger.exe
Fits on a floppy which you can write protect before running. This is useful if the computer does not have a CD drive as some older computers do not. It would be better to download to another machine and put on the floppy before introducing the disk to the infected machine. Make sure you run the anti-virus scan in safe mode.

I appreciate that but since he had apparently no internet access on the machine I was going for the built in possibility first.
It's kinda hard to even guess when the malware isn't known :) Personally I think the authors should get nailed more often with some real custodial sentences.

| You could try this suggestion from Frank Saunders
|
| In WinXP SP2: You can fix Winsock by going to Start | Run and typing CMD
| In the command window type netsh winsock reset
|
| That might get your internet back, if not try that and then a reboot.

Assuming Fletch has WinXP SP2.

That's what it says, and if he does not have SP2 then that's possibly where the trouble started and I see no real reason why not to recommend it. Since he cannot get to the internet on that machine right now I don't know what else to suggest other than manually checking settings, and it is most likely that the malware has broken something.
