This is one reason why autoplay is disabled on my system. I like to see what CD's are doing before I let them do anything.

Ideally....take out your hard drive and run a virus scan on a clean system.

I did not even have to take the drive out of the computer, just a lot of hair pulling and advancement of gray hairs.

Now for revenge... you ever hear the eskimo proverb that revenge is a dish best served cold. And it's very cold in Alaska.
Here are some things I have planned, pick any two of the following.

1. I date the girl he is trying to have a relationship with and goto a place he hangs out a lot.
2. I implant a ping storm program into his computer essentially making his internet useless and perhaps even exceed his 2GB transfer per month before charges.
3. I replace the contents of his catsup bottle with hot paste (he hates hot stuff) as well as put in at least 10 tablespoons of vanilla extract into his liquid hazelnut coffee creamer.
4. I plug the fuel line on his ATV on a night before he has to goto work in the morning, he works 9 miles out of town and his ATV is his only form of transportation.
5. I put a rake right next to his doorstep for him to step on and come flying up to nail him.
 
Buy Sunbelt Counterspy and run it. After that, install Spybot and run it in safe mode. That should get you out of trouble.

/agree

why anyone would not keep an image of their computer after a fresh reinstall (with patches + necessary apps installed) is beyond me.

I wipe my box and restore the ghost every couple just as a matter of course.

I vote for numbers 2 and 3, and putting an open can of sardines next to his car's air intake wouldn't be such a bad idea either 😉

But, if you start getting any more weird behavior, I really recommend nuking the PC, reformat and reinstall, it's the only way to be sure. Oh and you should probably scan the thing every night for the next week just to make sure nothing is trying to reinstall itself stealthily.
 
WTF?!! That's not even slightly funny. If a sibling or friend did that to me it'd be the last time I'd ever talk to them. :roll:

Get a real virus scan and spyware scanner.
 
Why, my system is snappy again? Roughly about 63 entries were deleted from my windows system32 directory, mainly .dll's, gawd knows how many more in other parts of my computer. 2 AV programs report no virus/trojans after 8 scans of each. 2 spyware programs report no spyware after 12 scans with each. From hitting the power button to a complete windows boot is back to 14 seconds. I get no pop-ups. My CPU usage after booting goes down to 1-3%. My system memory in use from boot is 150MB. I think it is safe to assume I eliminated all trojans/virus/spyware.

Removing this stuff is what I used to do for a living back when I co-owned an ISP with my father on top of building computers. Overconfidence I must say caught the best of me. I have not gotten a virus in ~ 8 years, and that virus was intentional just so I can learn how to remove it. I normally practice asfe internet usage for the main reason not getting any. I NEVER expected to get a virus from a family member in a form a disk.
All my programs are working properly... well I have not fired up starcraft ,BF2 or any of my games yet, but I expect them to work properly.

But yeah I was thinking #2 & 3 are appropriate. I really outta charge him my $40/hr rate for the work I had to do on this. I must say he was right though... it was something that blew my mind out. I almost did get to the part of reformatting.
 
Do you mind making an image of that disk? That sounds a like a great way to test out various antivirus programs.
 
If I did not break the damned thing. After I cool down I can prolly just ask my brother for another one... well after he cools down. I am gunna get my revenge tomorrow when he goes to work. I am gunna do 2 & 3 listed above.

Get a bunch of finger tip gloves from a local hobby type store. They're usually used to handle small items that don't like oil - watch repair for instance.

Since they look like VERY miniature condoms I'm sure you can think of something.
Get inventive with them. Leave them at his work or in his bag... If he still goes to school, get his buddies in on the joke.

But seriously, no matter what, that deserves a kick in the nuts.
 
I can guarantee you that there are still viruses/trojans still residing on that machine likely in the form of rootkits at this point. Even a good antivirus like Kasperksy (McAfee is utter crap) would have a hard time finding them much less getting rid of them. You can go on thinking that your system is clean. I'm sure we'll eventually see a thread along the lines of "Wtf, why did my ISP cut me off for mail ussage?! or...."My PayPal account got hijacked, how the heck did this happen?!?" or...."My computer is acting really weird again, I was sure it was clean!!" from you in the future probably sooner than later.
 
Tell your parents in secrecy that your brother confided his homosexuality to you, but that he was too scared to come out to them.
