Virus/spyware-ridden computer

| Anne Vasquez 2005-03-23, 5:08 pm |
| My friend recently plugged in his computer, which he hasn't used for
some time, and we found that it was absolutely loaded with spyware and
viruses. He's run Ad-Aware, Spybot S&D, and AVG multiple (and I DO mean
multiple!) times, and they pick up and get rid of new stuff each time.
He's also used CWShredder to get rid of Cool Web Search. However, now
he's getting an error message stating "error loading boln.dll". Can
anyone direct me to someplace that can help us get rid of this problem?
Most of the info I'm finding is so far over my head, I'm just clueless.
He's running WinXP Pro, if that's of any help at all.
Thanks!
Anne

| It worked, Dani; thanks again! There were a couple of values and
subkeys I couldn't find, even by searching the registry, but I deleted
those that I did find, and it worked. Muchas gracias!
