mounting to NTFS

[sakiZ]

I can sympathize with your Trojan dilema. AVG is very good with v. 7.

Also, to protect yourself from Trojans, change to a "secure" logon which requires pressing Ctl+Alt+Del before you can even log in with a password.

This disables any trojans that may be wanting to activate when you boot up.

Each time to access ntfs from knoppix running from cd, I run simple script without using any other programs. If your settings are saved on hd, you need to run this script once, and only mount ntfs next.

Detailed and updated instruction how to write to ntfs posted here:

Not to try to get you to NOT use Knoppix, but have you exhausted the de-worming possibilities?
Check your temp folders and delete ALL contents, (not the folders). Sort by date and see if there is anything suspicious that showed up when you started having the problems. I had a nasty bout with scumware, it resided in some harmless looking tmp2.tmp file (which I could not delete in normal mode) and which allowed the dang thing to keep re-installing itself on bootup. And it was clever enough to rotate amoung three different names for the folder and registry keys that it installed!
Try spybot, adaware, and hijackthis (if need be also CWshredder and stinger) and then if you are unsuccessful you can try Knoppix. I have had no luck with Knoppix and am searching for version 3.4 which is supposed to work better if you are trying to get NTFS write access.
GOOD LUCK!!

I can really sympathize with your problem. At work, where we use Windoze, my own computer, which is heavily protected got infected with a program call Golden Retriever which steals money from ecommerce sites.

I had to use a program call RegSeeker, which is good for uninstalling programs and deleting registry items that might not otherwise be removed.

I was just reading some article today describing how Windows XP has to be one of the worst security disasters of all time for any OS. Unsafe at Any Speed.

Good Luck!
