Hello everyone, my brother knows programming really well and needs an idea for a program he can make for our computer company. Any ideas? |

The trick to removing AV2009 is to pull the HD out of the infected computer, and remove the infection using another computer. Remove all the obvious crud manually, then run scans with:
-AVG
-MalwareBytes
-Ad-Aware
Clear all the temp directories (don't forget the various temp folders under the user folders), search for any newly created files and delete, check the hosts file, etc. You can even mount the registry on the uninfected machine and pull out the related keys. |

AntiVirus2009 is a pain! Hard to remove! |

So your setting up a computer business with him?
Already did. It is run with my dad, my brother, and I. |

I should use capitalization to refer to System Restore, that semi useless feature in WinMe, XP, Vista, 7 that restores the registry and key system files back to an automatic backup. I have only found this feature to be of use once, and consequently, I disable it on all my machines.
A data restore would be putting customers data back on the system from an image I previously took. |

Well, a data restore and a system restore. |

Data restore is restoring the backup. A backup is taking a copy for backup purposes.

In a situation where you haven't got WDS/RIS, Roaming profiles (for user's data) and Group Policy Software Installation or a good clean disk image with applications preinstalled, rebuilding a system can become unnecessary.
And, the difference between data restore and a backup is? |

No, once again I said nothing about doing a system restore. Reread my posts again. I was simply comparing the amount of labour it would take me to do a complete reload to what you are charging for a fairly simple virus removal. My point was that you seem to be charging an extraordinary amount for labour, and I would be able to do 2 or three times the work for the same money.
At this point I have AV2009 removal down to a science and it takes about an hour. Maybe it takes longer for you, and thus justifies the extra cost. I don't know. |
