Hi.
A buddy of mine got his comp pretty much jammed with viruses (no winupdate,
no firewall =).

He uses antivir (www.free-av.com), each time he reboots his comp antivir
pops up telling that there are like 4 or so viruses in his temp folder...
then antivir offers to delete the files, files are deleted then.
Next time he restarts the files are back in the temp folder...

My suggestion would be backing up all non executeable data of importance,
stomp the drive and clean-reinstall windows, but he is resilient to that =)

so, any ideas what we could do to get rid of those viruses?

thx in advance..
