One of the most useful peices of software around this.
After battling with Boran Spyware which nothing could remove. Despite claims to contrary I finally removed the drive and put it in another laptop. The host machines DVD was broken.
Scanning the drive from another Winxp machine pronounced it clean whatever virus checker you used.
Scanning in safe mode using any spyware removal tool didn't work as the spyware was loaded and just replaced the registry keys or the spyware program just hung.
Booted Bartpe used the registry plugin to load up the registry and delete delete delete. Folder prevously hidden appeared delete delete delete.
Put the hard drive back in reboot in safe mode and the virus checker found another virus which it removed and scanned through. Another reboot and still clean.
Orginally the machine was harvesting IP address's. The first antispy run found 4000 items of spyware and 1000 Trojan. I thought I was winning when I got it down to 20 or so then came the hard work trying to find the files reloading the software.
Hopefully it's just a final cleanup tomorrow.
