Just remove any wireless devices on the offending PC (if the wireless is inside the case you can go Control Panel>System>Hardware>Device Manager>Right click network device and click disable), or if its cabled unplug the network cable | |

Yea thats what i meant, use the laptop you are taking round later. Just make sure the infected computer isnt connected to the same network you are logging in to to use the internet :rolleyes: | |

Try doing an AVG scan in 'Safe Mode with Networking'. Might get rid then :) | |
