FAke AV on windows

Another PC infected with Fake AV!  The machine was running windows xp fully patched and with Mcafee security suite installed.

I have taken some screen shots.I manged to boot with only essential drivers and services (msconfig) I found a process called "av.exe" once this was stopped the Fake AV stopped appearing. I then removed entries from registry (Deleting keys etc from the registry can kill your system).

Reset ie8 to defaults and deleted all temp files etc.

Ran spybot search and destroy, which found a few trojans and registry keys which had been adjusted, I just accepted the fix for all items (some probably had been changed by Mcafee).

Not to sure what Mcafee does, but there are a few obvious flaws!!

The AV.EXE had placed itself in "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application Data\av.exe"
