Re: without explorere.exe
Dear Joker,
Renaming the files worked, at which point, editing the registry, which is a task I loathe, to point to the explorer.exe where it really is finished the job.
There is no way to say thank you that is not a understatement. Now, if my son learnt his lesson, all will be well.
Superb job of helping the barely literate, and a model of kindness with your patience.
Sincerely,
Martin

| There is still work to do though.
If you followed the last instructions, there will be a ComboFix log that you need to post, along with a new HijackThis log. There is likely still work to do based on the log, and after that is taken care of, ComboFix will need to be uninstalled.

| Thanks, Joker -
This is a little like giving wireless help in ATU -
Except I know that once the victim is connected, it will work for at least 24 hours. 
The worst part is, convincing anyone not to run as privileged user, particularly teens whose every visit to the web is fraught with "do you want to install xyz now?"
Will post hj log next time I visit NY, combo fix was not necessary, I think, since explorer.exe and everything else I tried now work.
I did install the console, though, as I do that on every windows pc I work on.
You are the best.
Regards,
Martin

Alexandria, VA | Hopefully that got it all then, but the ComboFix log would have been a better view. When you do go there, please let me know in advance so I have an idea when you will be posting.
