I am working on an Acer laptop that a client gave to me and it was riddled with viruses! It is running Vista and I have done a lot of scans using none other than Avast, MBAM, AdwCleaner and Junkware Removal Tool all while the system was intact. One major problem though as after a god [bleep] restart it comes up to the start screen, but it's black with only a cursor spinning in the background. I cannot do anything and i'm stuck on Hirens Boot CD trying my best to get rid of every rootkit possible as GMER detects a lot of them. Bitdefender found variant Kazy and ClamWin found Trojan.Crypt.O.

Please help :)

Regards Robert :)
