Ok, the last post got a bit long with the hijackthis log, but I wanted to include the whole picture. I put a few comments in, but thought it might be useful to include the notes I took at the time. For starters I leave it unplugged from the network. (There is no network card in this machine.) It’s important when working on an infested PC to leave it isolated so that it can’t continue to spread viruses or spam or whatever it may be doing. Assume if it’s infested with something that it could be spewing out bad stuff. If you must, isolated it and prevent it from routing to the outside world… the safest is usually to leave the cable unplugged for the initial look over.

Disinfecting a PC… part 1
This is the first in a several part series documenting the cleaning of an infected PC. The only real noteworthy item is that it was a dial-up only connection and was rather infested for that. (On par with some of the broadband connected pc’s I’ve seen. It’s also an interesting counterpoint to the network security series.)
