Alright, i have an issue here.

1. My sister has a computer over at my moms house, only computer that is over there. She is an idiot and ended up getting antivirus 2010 on it.

2. Bootable antivirus programs havent worked, ive tried a few already and none have worked.

3. No matter how i try to run malwarebytes, it doesnt work.

4. She is a complete ass(for lack of a better term), and i cant bring her computer over here to scan with one of my pc's.

5. I cannot take a computer over there, as my main rig here i dont like moving due to the weight of the fans on my heatsink, and my dads computer i cannot take over because he wont let me.


How the heck am i supposed to remove this, i cannot get online with the pc, i cannot run any antivirus or anti malware software, its a complete pain.
 
OMG YES!!! 2010 IS FINALLY OUT!!! I BETTER UPDATE MY ANTIVIRUS 2009!!

Ok but seriously, I'm pretty sure you already took a peeksy at this link:

but if you did not, there it is. I used the same instructions to get rid of the 09 variant of it a year ago. But, oddly, my wallpaper was permanently white, so I just reformatted and what not.

Good luck with the infection though.
 
Safe Mode with Networking ;)

Also have a look at This Thread in regards to a few tools to download and run (I'm thinking Combofix ;))
Cant get into safe mode, unfortunately it freezes. Im thinking that antivirus 2010 is only one of a few infections on it.

Yeah, i took a look there aswell, MBAM wont run however.

Anyone know of a bootable antivirus that will kill 2010?
 
Thanks for the update :)
By the way if you have scanned with these tools whilst the drive was connected as a slave (in your machine?)
Then you will need to do the scans again when its mounted back in as the Windows system drive, to get all the malware registry entries
