Hi all.I am having a problem with getting rid of malware and trojans on a clients computer. I have already tried a number of things to get this pc back on track. I have tried online scans from trend micro and panda, updated AVG 7.5 free edition antivirus, smitfraud fix, combofix, vundofix and a number of other things in normal and safe mode and the popups still persist. I also forgot to mention that Spybot and Superantispyware have also been used. I have also removed some suspicious entries with Hijack this and it is doing a lot better but the trojans and threats are still there. I have spent considerable time and I am trying to not wipe the computer but it looks like this is going to be the option. Need help.

I am a valid computer reseller and tech but this is the worst case of malware I have seen in a long time. I took the computer from the client a few days ago and I have made great strides in eliminating nearly all of the malware but there is some still there that needs to go. Rather than wiping the hard drive and starting again I would like to try and salvage this installation.Thanks.
