Like the title says I'm working on my brothers computer, originally he had a fake windows security popup advertising anti-virus pro 2010 or something along those lines. It was easy to remove through the add/remove programs window but I have not regained access to any form of virus protection. As soon as the scan fails after 5-10s the executable is permissions locked.

I read the "how to organize your first post" sticky and backup my registry but I was unable to get a report from dds.scr
while rootrepeat.exe gave me an invalid PE image error.
