Cleaned up XP 2010 spyware, cannot browse Internet

[brian_d_fink]

Good afternoon,

I spent the last few days working on a laptop with Windows Antivirus Pro 2010 malware. Once I figured out that I had to change the install name for MBAM and then change the launch name of MBAM, I finally got rid of the virus.

However, neither IE8 or Firefox can browse the internet unless I'm in safe mode. I ran SmitFraudFix as well as scanning it with AVG, Norton, Trendmicro's Housecall and even IOBit's Security 360. Each AV found a different piece of malware. Even after all that, I still cant any webpage to display except in Safe mode. So somewhere, something is still in there but I've run out of ideas.

Since the laptop is my boss's son's, I'd like to be able to strut my stuff before I tell him to simply reimage it come Monday morning when he needs it back for college.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Brian

PS Is there a contribution fund for hunting down the creators of these things and letting the CIA use them for experimental subjects?
