Hi.. New to this forum, so bear with me...

I'm working on a friends computer. At first, on boot-up, I had the typical blue screen o' death related to the Smitfraud.C trojan. On another site (don't remember which) they said to delete "wp.exe" and "wp.bmp". Couldn't find the .exe but did delete "wp.bmp".
Now I'm stuck at a blank blue screen. When I boot up in safe mode, I get a good screen, but no useable desktop. When I do a ctrl-alt-del in either mode, I see no processes running, there are no tabs for selections, and the only buttons on the bottom are: "End Task", "Shut down", and "Cancel".
Since I can do absolutely nothing on his computer, all of the troubleshooting I've done so far, ie: virus scans, spy-ware scans, etc.. have all been done by removing his hard drive and plugging it into my PC as a slave drive.
What are my options?
thanks in advance.

Hello, and welcome to the GeekstoGo Forums. My name is Jfcap,and I will be helping you clean your system. I would like to start off by apologizing in the delay in our response time. We try not to let posts slip through the cracks, but things do happen due the the ammount of posts on our website, so again I apologize.

Please read these instructions carefully and print them out! Be sure to follow ALL instructions!

Please RIGHT-CLICK: HERE and go to Save As (in Internet Explorer it's "Save Target As") in order to download Grinler's reg file. Save it to your desktop.

Locate "smitfraud.reg" on your desktop and double-click it. When asked if you want to merge with the registry, click YES. Wait for the "merged successfully" prompt then follow the rest of the instructions below.

I'm supposed to do this on the computer WITH the virus, right?
If so, I'm unable to comply with instructions because I'm unable to do ANYTHING on that computer.
Recommendations?

Hello,

If you have a jumpdrive or flash drive, you can download the programs to that, and then run them in the correct order from task manager.

Press Ctrl Alt Delete then select File and then New Task

That is the only way I know of, but I will ask around incase you are unable to do the above.
