Or, you should be fired for getting an infection on a work machine ... no porn at work!

In addition to adaware I recommend Panda activescan, webroot antivirus, spyware doctor. Run these in safe mode with updated definitions. If they can't get it you're going to have to wipe it out / reformat / reinstall or remove the hard drive, hook it up to another computer and scan it or load a virtual OS from CD which has virus scanning capabilities.

Just to be clear, this was a coworkers laptop that got infected while he was using his work laptop at his house. Really! He says he got the virus from a website that we use to download blueprints from, but we all know that's not true. I would have had more respect for him if he just said "Yep, I was downloading porn". And our IT department is "centrally located" which means they aren't within 1000 miles of our building so they either would have had to help him over the phone or we would have had to sent in his laptop to them. In either case it would have taken forever. So seeing how I was pretty sure I could fix it I did.

And why would I need porn? I'm a happily married man. :9
