try to download Kaspersky v7 (unreleased), hopefully the malware on your PC wont detect it... ftp://kav2006:Fynb02dbhec60@data.kaspersky.com/7.0.0.125/KIS/English/2007_06_28_12_33/kis.en.msi
also make sure "enable self-defense before instalation" is enabled/ticked... do an update, restart PC into SafeMode and scan from there. Set the Scan level of the MyComputer scan to "Max" and in the HeuristicAnalyzer tab, tick all the boxes and set heuristic scan level to "Detail"
(also remember to run the Trial Version)
Thanks skiddy2k im going to let the F-secure can run through and then give urs a go to double check that theres nothing left on there

Also try to download the Avenger: http://swandog46.geekstogo.com/avenger.exe
save & run it. choose "input script manually", click on the Magnifier and input the following:
press Done, and then click the green traffic light, confirm the rebootFiles to delete:

C:\PAGEFILE.SYS
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\SYSDRV0.EXE

Yeh, just take it one step at a time... no point trying all at the same time.
Looks like a Rootkit you got on the PC, thats why its proving so difficult to remove. Good luck!

Hi James :hello:
I've been following this thread and I must say I admire your patience. I would have done
this by now.
No advice
, just moral support :cool: and something to briefly make you and your Mum smile. 
Hope you get it sorted soon.

Look on the bright side, you learn about how to remove malicious files this way and can help out people with similar problems in the future.

I do look at it as a learning curve cos i like to keep me IT knowledge as up to date as poss, and learning how to deal with this would certainly help doing that
