After running OTL the first time I shut down the computer to eject the USB safely (device light never went out, was unsure if it had been ejected successfully) to transfer the OTL files to my good computer... on restart it came back to black screen so my fault.

When you get to the black screen could you try the following :

Right click the desktop and select personalise... Are you able to change the wallpaper ?

Then press the windows and R key together... Does the run box appear ?
If it does then type in explorer.exe and OK that
Does the desktop come back

OK start the computer from the USB recovery console. First option is to select startup repair if that fails then select system restore and select Restore point made on: 2013-05-31 23:00:23

Attempted Start Up repair, no issues identified. Went to System Restore for 2013-05-31 23:00, did not complete successfully.

Were there no issues to identify in the FRST log that'd need fixing to get back in to Windows?

I'm going to go ahead and proceed with file backup thru Active Boot Disk on the chance that the factory restore is needed... =)

No the second FRST looked clean

From the recovery console command prompt could you run a check disc

chkdsk c: /r

That is because it was working from the recovery console so it is not a problem

Are you able to backup your data ?

Yessir, all personal data that I can find (not my pc) has been backed up and the owners are reluctant but OK w losing data if needed. I told them that if it came down to it they could keep their data but never use their computer again, lol... it was a discussion w friends over drinks that provided plenty of laughs on my side of the table. =)

What've you got in mind?

Dell Inspiron one

I've got "all included disks" from the owners, the one that strikes me as possibly useful is the Drivers and Utilities disk "For Reinstalling Dell Inspiron One 19 Computer Software" -- Outside of that all other discs are various programs, nothing OS useful...

For that computer you need to do the following to access the system recovery partition

Boot the computer
Press the F8 key when you see the Dell logo. It will take you to the advanced boot menu options, which include 'Repair your Computer'.
Select that option and enter your password if asked, then you will see a list of options like 'system restore' and 'command prompt'.
The last option says 'Dell PC restore'.
Select that option and follow the instructions on the screen.

OK ensure that you have a working antivirus

Then copy all the documents and files that were saved, back to the locations where they were backed up from

Only install Java if they really need it

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:

Posted Image Malwarebytes.

Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

Download and install FileHippo update checker and run it monthly it will show you which programmes on your system need updating and give a download link

If you use on-line banking then as an added layer of protection install Trusteer Rapport

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated. To keep your operating system up to date visit

Much appreciated, thanks for all of your time and responses.

I have a 2nd computer from the other side of the country w the same virus if you wanna tackle it, I'll even start a new thread. But I definitely do NOT have the backup media for it, I'd have to reach out to an even further point in the country to get those discs. =)
