Hello
babbagene
Autorun Eater is only needed if you are going to use a USB Thumb drive to transfer the required tools to the infected machine.
As you do not have a thumb drive handy you do not need to worry about autorun eater
i am not clear on what i need to do next
can i just burn the programs onto a cd-rw, if so can you guide me.
Burning disks is certainly possible, just a little less convenient than using a thumb drive. Lets give it a try:
Download all of the different versions of rkill to your Win7 desktop, then download DDS and GMER in the same way. Make sure that they are all on your desktop (so you can find them easily).
Once you have downloaded the tools, you need to copy (burn) them to disk (Note: You must have a drive capable of burning information to a CD in order to create the disk).
You may already have software installed that can do this for you (such as nero for example).
Some general information about how to burn a disk can be found
here.
If the infected machine runs on vista/XP, it may be better to Choose the
Mastered format method rather than the
Live File format method for the disk you create (instructions are provided in the link).
Once the required tools have been burned to disk, put the disk in the infected system and copy the programs to the desktop.
Begin with rKill (instructions provided previously), then follow with DDS and GMER.
When the DDS logs and GMER logs are produced make sure you save them. If you are unable to connect to the internet using the infected system you will need to burn the log files and post the back here from your Win7 machine.
If the infected system does not have a CD burner (or if the malware on the machine prevents you from using it) we will need to get hold of a thumb drive.
Give the above a try and let me know how you get on
