I am trying to help my sister remove the spyware "Personal Antivirus" from her computer. She has Windows XP. I was going to go online from her computer and try to download something to fix the problem. The only problem is that I can not get online from her computer. The pages keep coming up blocked and it says that "Personal Antivirus" has detected thousands of Trojan viruses and such. Is there any way to get rid of this spyware or whatever it is without using the internet? Help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks for the suggestions but I am unable to do any of them because they require me to go online and download things. I can not gain internet access from her computer. The pages come up blocked and I can not go online.

Download the tools on the computer you are using. Burn them to a cd and then use it on her system. The techs there can help you do it from there.

What do I do if I do not have a CD burner? Is this situation hopeless??

[rshaffer61]

Without being able to get her system online and\\or a way to burn the tools needed there would be no way to do it. If you can use a system that has a burner that would work. The techs in this forum cannot and\or will not give support for malware removal. The techs in the malware forum are trained for just those issues.
