Problem: trojan

beckys pc will not function,, has trojan, will not allow sophos to function.

Solution: taken care of. user had spyware on the pc that prompted to run security checks, all tools (cmd.regedit,etc...) were disabled and there was a blue/black shield in systray that looked similar to Sophos. I logged that user off and logged back in as tmcadmin to get the local tools back. cleaned up registry hklm\run statements. i removed the key from the hklm\microsoft\windowsnt\profile list for that specific user. i cleaned up any suspect files from windows and system32 directories. also had to remove a file from %userprofile%\applicationdata directory. rebooted the pc and logged back in as tmcadmin. I renamed the orig user profile, logged her back in and copied her data back over. reset default printer. opchk good.
