About that GMER tool..
My daughter's computer is infected with Antivirus Soft which is apparently one of a family of nasties with root kits. I was having great difficulty running the GMER tool for the folks at Bleeping computer. The computer kept freezing - even the clock.
The eventual effective solution was to -
1. Open a compose window in a web based email such as gmail using Firefox which uses different protocols than Explorer so works better when your computer has a virus.
2. Run only parts of the gmer scan at a time.
3. Copy.
4. Paste into email. (Note - I could paste into "notepad" but I froze when I tried to save it.)
5. Save draft.
6. Repeat with other sections.
Then post to Bleeping computer...
