Tomorrow I will be attempting to clean a friend's computer of malware (Trojans mostly).
A post on a forum, Symantec I think, suggests scanning in safe mode as a method of cleaning which will prevent theses things from replicating, which he tells me they are doing.
I don't know the names of the malware yet, only that he has been having trouble for a few days, including things like being directed to wrong pages by his browser (sounds like spy/adware, and trojans have also been mentioned), will have more info soon I hope.
After reading Windows Help & Support I am not sure if safe mode will allow me to run a virus scan, so can someone tell me if safe mode does allow me to run a virus scan? Or suggest other methods of permanent removal. All suggestions will be welcome.![]()
