Hi,
I have a friend who has been infected with the "About-Blank" virus. He is running Windows 98.
He is not very knowledgeable with computers, so I am trying to help him out.
We have installed and run AVG, Lavasoft, and Spybot.
We have installed Mozilla Firefox as a browser.
I am working on his computer using UltraVNC to connect to his computer.
I ran "Hijack This.exe" and used it to clean out the files that I knew were bad.
I then ran "Hijack this" agian and I am attaching the log.
We have him up and running agian, but I have not been able to find the original virus file because I don't know what file I am looking for!
