Vince August 10, 2008 at 1:01 am: Even though this was not written for VISTA, I was able to navigate it and get the Files and keys for AntiVirus Master and SPYBOT viruses. It took a lot of patience and nevres of steel to go that far down in the system and root out this nasty.

I never did find the C:\\Documents and Settings\\Bureau\\Antivirus Master.lnk file, but the virus is gone.

Thanks for doing this!
