These virus's will often block the main page for antivirus programs, sometimes if you can figure out the website to go maybe 2 sites deep on an online antivirus scan you can get around it (did it once in the past for a customer)
I used to use http://housecall.trendmicro.com but they've done something silly as of lately. So i've been using www.pandasoftware.com .
In this case let me see if i can find a link a page or two deep:
http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/ActiveScan.htm
you can try this one too, it'd take you directly to the scan window, but the fact that they won't support my IE 7 or firefox isn't allowing me to get to the page i want, the link MAY work for you though (hopefully)
http://www.pandasoftware.com/actives...7490&Idpais=63
good luck. If all else fails, you could try either:
a) download an antivirus, put it on cd and then install it on that computer (not overly likely to work)
b) remove her harddrive connect it as a slave drive to a working pc, and scan her hdd with an antivirus from the working PC (fairly likely to work - so long as the antivirus can remove it)

Okay, if you go into msconfig, do you have WinServices.exe (or something similar) in there ? If so, that's caused similar problems on several computers I've worked on ...

Well I just got frustrated and took the computer in to have it cleaned. I just found out that the memory sticks were fried by a bad motherboard, so I now have a Sony Vaio laptop paperweight. Guess it wasn't a virus afterall which seems odd to me because I could still view some webpages, and others I couldn't...Oh well...
Thanks anyways guys, much appreciated.
