Sorry if I disappeared. Afternoon work stuff. Devilock, I think I'm going to shut up about this one if you're going to see it in person. I'm kind of stumped on why it won't run either of those online virus scans.
Yeah, I suspect the same thing. I recently had one here at the house that a friend asked me to fix... the virus/trojan on it was so nasty that it wouldn't let me run msconfig, task manager, or any of the other things that will let you see what programs are running. I had to disable system restore, then reboot it in safe mode, then alter msconfig to keep the virus from running on boot, and then reboot in safe mode and run Housecall to kill that one. Seems like these things get uglier all the time.
With that Santa picture and your Barter for beer concept, all I keep thinking about is the movie Bad Santa. I thought the movie was great.
