So I'm going round there to sort it out.

I've sorted quite a few people's PCs out before and it's usually the trick of turning system restore offthat gets rid of the little blighters.

However, this infection sounds quite bad. Although I built the machine and set her up with Spybot, AVG and made sure the Windows firewall was on, she has backdoor trojans, w32.myzor and various malware threats. This is down to all the dodgy "game of the day" sites she goes on as well as less as not updating and immunising Spybot for at least 6 months.

She says her internet connection has now dropped so there's a small chance I won't be able to fix it without having some general purpose virus removal tools.

So, whilst I've got the chance, what does anyone recommend I burn to CD and take round?

Cheers.
