Alert

Virus

by bark_n_byte Dec 9, 2012 12:08AM PST

I was working on someone else's virus; turned his off to grab some software of my own to reboot his and got one of those "omg you have 299 infections founs"...

I resolved that for the most part through avg, cmd, and regedit, but there's still a lingering piece of it still there.

There was a username installed 'UpdatusUser". It's almost invisible. I actually found it when I was trying to take all permissions of it's "programs" away. I cannot delete it through most conventional ways.

Please HELP!
