So I was going through the reviews on the Wired and when checking out the Lenovo ThinkPad X300, I found this comment below. People are so naive. Jesus? 10 USD for a laptop? "*Posted by: mirfan* *149 days ago1 Point* *Some one told me that India is making a laptop which would cost only $10, is it really true? How can some one make such a cheap laptop when Windows basic version costs around $99?"* 2009/7/3 Murigi Muraya <mmskunkworks@gmail.com>
Would be interesting to see if some of you become better at Securing Windows after going through http://blogs.msdn.com/ntdebugging/pages/exam-preparation-information-for-exa...
.....It’s the most secure distribution version of Windows XP ever produced by Microsoft: More than 600 settings are locked down tight, and critical security patches can be installed in an average of 72 hours instead of 57 days. The only problem is, you have to join the Air Force to get it.

Now George Njoroge, you forgot that we Linux users have to maintain Windows machines and remove viruses in machines where users don't bother doing back -ups.

Hi Guys
Ok I get it all you guys are windows guys, don''t worry I was there before I realized what the Matrix was. Nway lets start: A virus cannot recreate itself once deleted it only means u deleted the recreated virus/file you gotta clean all. Mostly as indicated above, on systems by Bill Gates these files/viruses hide in C:/Windows/System32. If you follow the steps outlined above you can see them i.e. make sure hidden files are visible and also file extensions. Another way to locate these 'viruses/files' is to use msconfig command, that brings up a config screen which your main interest should be the "startup" tab. Go thru the programs listed there and you may see your culplits e.g sasha.vbs including the path. Here you have a choice of stopping thing u dont want to run at startup, for files you would like to delete you have to disable them from starting at startup then restart your machine. Now you should be able to delete these files. There are many more tweaks including SAFE MODE but the best is going the TUX way ie linux.
Hehe hope that helps. Cheers.

@Lawi, that wont always work since some viruses change registry settings to ensure you can't display hidden folders. You can make the changes suggested below to the registry;

Even easier, download and run ComboFix.exe and you are done.
