Need help & advice - My friend laptop is infected with Trojan..

[jimmyhaha]

My friend laptop running win2k is tossed, he download too much "stuff" and infeced with IRC trojan..

Explorer.exe Freeze after logon & I can not access within the OS, both mouse & keyboard do NOT respond.

I try all mode windows & no luck. So I view his laptop registry remotely from my pc (using regedit to connect network registry)

And found some trojan, virus & parasite infected in the laptop residing in the registry & different folder

Then, I try to use Norton Systemworks CD and run NAVDX.exe (Norton Dos Virus Scan Utitlies) but realize that it does NOT support NTFS

Any suggestion ?

Particularly need someth virus scan software that can scan NTFS File under dos envirnoment...

Pls advice, thanks in advance.

Don't know about that, but as a last resort you could get a laptop->IDE adapter, plug his hard drive into your system, and scan it that way.

I don't think it can be done since DOS does not support NTFS.

ntfsdos

erd commander (every version since 2000).


Try these.

after doing some googling, it seems that is no Free dos utility can read NTFS drive.

The free one only do the READ but not Write.

hmm..

If you have access to an administrative account on his computer, map a drive to his C drive and run your virus scan from your computer.

download an infected pirate copy of norton av, the trojans will cancel each other out!


your friend needs to learn to use ghost.

Is there a free version of Ghost out there or do I need to steal it from work?
