Depending on how sophisticated this stuff is, you might be able to delete it by "deltree c:/program files/imanoob" or wherever it is you installed this program. Or run an (updated) antivirus utility, also automagically and conveniently found on your boot disk (okay, you'll have to put it on there too). Get some antivirus software so you don't pwn yourself so easily next time. I'm sure there's plenty of good ones out there, but if you're too lazy to find what you want, avira works okay for me. | ||

I'll reword my previous post: I'm assuming you're using some version of Windows, probably XP or Vista. This program loads and locks your computer before you can do anything with it, but after Windows loads. This indicates that Windows launches up this program. To get rid of it, you'll want to access your computer without using Windows. To access your computer without Windows, you'll need some sort of an operating system that's not Windows. A very lightweight OS that is bundled with Windows (MS-DOS) can be placed on a CD or USB thumb drive (or pretty much anything else these days). Now, your computer will probably ignore that USB drive or CD and proceed to load Windows. To make it boot to DOS, access your BIOS right after you turn on the power to your computer by pressing DEL or F10 or whatever it is that it says on the screen ("Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to enter Setup"). In the BIOS, you will find a setting that says something like "Boot Priority". Change this so it says "USB" or "CD" before "Seagage MX893425798" or whatever your hard drive is called. Now, restart your computer and instead of Windows, you'll see this big blank black screen with C:/>_ Congrats, you can do stuff with your comp now. Get a command line virus scan (came up with this from 10 seconds on Google) and run it. Hopefully that will catch this virus. You could also just wipe the drive as a previous poster suggested. If you have data you want to save, go ahead and back it up at this point. You might be better off sending in the computer to a repair shop. And it might be cheaper than that to buy this "keylogger elite" program, which will probably unlock your computer. Which is why this stuff keeps getting written in the first place. | ||

Take out the hard drive. Put it in the working computer. Screwdriver required. Updated and running antivirus on the working computer recommended. Copy data over to working comp. Wipe the drive. Put blank drive back into original computer. Stick in Windows CD and wait an hour while the computer decides how to turn a 700MB disk into 2 gigabytes on your hard drive. Spend another few hours reinstalling hardware drivers and | ||
