Virus help please

Hi, I am trying to clean up a friends laptop. I had to run malwarebytes in safe mode as it would not load to windows so did a quick scan in safe mode and then a full scan when windows loaded. I have also ran hijack this which still seems to have a few nasties. Logs to follow in next post so advise on how to proceed next would be appreciated.

Also some of the windows files seem to have been corrupted and it now thinks that the windows is not genuine and needs reinstalling. Any advice on how to proceed here also.

I see that the laptop has no anti virus and has limewire installed :eek: These will be the first things I rectify!!!
It's easier to get forgiveness than to ask permission ;)

    I would suggest that you get the Antivir Rescue CD and run that and see what it comes up with.

    http://www.avira.com/en/support-download-avira-antivir-rescue-system

    Download the .iso version, burn to cd and boot from that CD. This is a Linux based utility, just select option 1 when prompted ie default boot.

    You will hit a simple GUI. I would suggest that you set it to log nasties only the first scan. That option will be in one of the tabs.

    As to re-installing windows, are you sure if it is just not asking for re-activation?

    The HTJ log seems ok not that I am an expert but you could go to hijackthis.de, copy paste the log and see what comes out. It is rough and ready but should give you a good feel.

    Good Luck

    Have done a bit of googling and found this article? Any thoughts from you experts??

    I have ran the HJT log through the analyser and it seems to think there are still some nasties on there
