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:

Sounds similar to what I had - only really let me on sites that I had been on before. Google searches and such were a no no.

I ended up formatting my HDD :lol:

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

Yea if you just google the name of the virus / whatever it is there will be someone on the internet who has a good fix for it :)
