Running windows XP. Kids managed to put this on, so I don't know the source. It is doing all the usual popups - labelled Antivirus XP with no year tag. But is also blocking all access to internet explorer so am having to try and sort a solution via another machine - can try to copy and paste script across via a usb stick. Obviously this means that have no access to any of the hyperlinks that are on the are you infected page as its a different machine. Have managed to do a system restore point, but cannot download erunt for registry backup. Don't think i have any cd emulation software - certainly not the ones you mention. Cannot download DDS. Cannot download GMER. Is there any way I can copy and paste script from these links across? Be grateful for any help! easytiger
Do you have the facility to burn a cd ?

OK this file is big about 276.7Mb, print these instruction out so that you know what you are doing

File details
Bytes - 290,236,416
MB - 276.7
MD5 - 3BD19DB0ADB880A39DD80C704CB907D0

Two programmes to download

First

ISOBurner this will allow you to burn OTLPE.iso to a CD and make it bootable. Just install the programme, from there on in it is fairly automatic. Instructions

Second

  • Download OTLPE.iso and burn to a CD using ISO Burner. NOTE: This file is 276.7Mb in size so it may take some time to download.
  • When downloaded double click and this will then open ISOBurner to burn the file to CD
  • Reboot your system using the boot CD you just created.
    Note : If you do not know how to set your computer to boot from CD follow the steps here
  • As the CD needs to detect your hardware and load the operating system, I would recommend a nice cup of tea whilst it loads :)

  • Your system should now display a Reatogo desktop.
    Note : as you are running from CD it is not exactly speedy
  • Double-click on the OTLPE icon.
  • Select the Windows folder of the infected drive if it asks for a location
  • When asked "Do you wish to load the remote registry", select Yes
  • When asked "Do you wish to load remote user profile(s) for scanning", select Yes
  • Ensure the box "Automatically Load All Remaining Users" is checked and press OK
  • OTL should now start.
  • Drag and drop this attached scan.txt into the Custom scans and fixes box
    📎scan.txt
  • Press Run Scan to start the scan.
  • When finished, the file will be saved in drive C:\OTL.txt
  • Copy this file to your USB drive if you do not have internet connection on this system.
  • Right click the file and select send to : select the USB drive.
  • Confirm that it has copied to the USB drive by selecting it
  • You can backup any files that you wish from this OS
  • Please post the contents of the C:\OTL.txt file in your reply.
