There are free apps available to reset Windoze passwords. One is even a M$ app. I can't recall the name right now. You can also pay money for the same thing.

I have done a thorough cleaning of the PC and I still get random pop-up windows for IE and FireFox with advertisements. I've run Ad-Aware, it's found stuff, I've erased it, and the junk still keeps coming up. ACK!

Yikes! Have you tried SpyBot S&D? I've found that it often cleans up a lot that AdAware misses.

I'll try Spybot. I think I may have found the culprit though, I ran McAfee from the command-line in safe mode and it popped up with some sort of .tmp file that had not shown up in any other scans.

It's amazing how many tools and methods someone has to go through to get rid of this back door stuff. Irritating.

Did you load Windows in safe mode first? I once got infected with something that the only way to truly remove it was with running SpyBot after booting the OS in safe mode.

Tell me about it. That nasty Facebook trojan that was going around about 6 weeks ago infected my work laptop, resulting in a couple of hours of work to get it all taken off.
