Unhappy how do i get rid of spyware
my girlfriend has been using her laptop without any antivirus and so consequently has lots of virus' on her computer. However, the laptop barely works now and I can't seem to complete a full scan. Am using spyware doctor and it detects lots of infections but then crashes before I can fix them. Is there any way of clearing the virus' some other way and without wiping the hard drive? I can't really try any other antivirus software because the laptop doesn't function well enough to install anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OK, let's see how badly is the pc infected. For this you will have to operate on her laptop.
Click here to download HJTsetup.exe
  • Save HJTsetup.exe to your desktop.
  • Double click on the HJTsetup.exe icon on your desktop.
  • By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Hijack This.
  • Continue to click Next in the setup dialogue boxes until you get to the Select Additional Tasks dialogue.
  • Put a check by Create a desktop icon then click Next again.
  • Continue to follow the rest of the prompts from there.
  • At the final dialogue box click Finish and it will launch Hijack This.
  • Click on the Do a system scan and save a log file button. It will scan and then ask you to save the log.
  • Click Save to save the log file and then the log will open in notepad.
  • Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
  • Come back here to this thread and Paste the log in your next reply.
  • DO NOT have Hijack This fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.
