If it really is that bad, simple wipe the drive clean, and do a clean OS install.

And his reasoning as to why he does not want to do a fresh OS install?

Once you have that many viruses on a computer, you need to format the hard drive and re-install Windows. The damage done to drivers and system files cannot be fixed.

If you have the original Windows CD/DVD, boot from it, and format every hard drive that is in the system. Then install Windows on the C: drive.

If you do not have the original Windows CD/DVD, you are going to need to buy one or get the manufacturer of your computer to send you one. Expect them to want to charge a fee to replace the Windows installation CDs or DVDs.

You do not need to contact a manufacturer or pay a fee to get a windows installation disk. You can easily find a download online, and make a disk yourself.

Then he will have to live with viruses on the computer for the rest of its life. Sorry to say, but that is the reality of the situation.

You can format the drives yourself and install the OS yourself. Its quite easy. A bit time consuming, but easy.

Run the virus checker and malwarebytes again. Make sure you hit the box in settings that checks for root kits, MBR. Use Cleaner from piriform.com and run it through registry several times until there is nothing left. Also clean out any and all temp folders/files. Open up my computer and run through C drive and check everything. If any folder looks suspicious, investigate it throughly. Google anything you are unsure of.

With over 700 problems, guaranteed your software missed something. No virus scanner is infallible, they do miss some sometimes, use a different one.

If after all that, you still have problems, its more than likely the pc is clean, but one or more of those viruses has corrupted data somewhere usually in Windows, so you'll have to use the windows restore from the boot directory which will reset your key system files back to original, repairing the damage caused by the viruses.

Lotta work, but it beats having to do a full reinstal/format which is the only other way I can think of to repair the damage.

I would not suggest pirating Windows. Which sounds to me like you just did.

I never in any way suggested pirating Windows, nor would i ever. Microsoft themselves provides direct downloads. Anybody can make a windows installation disk, so why on earth would you pay to have one sent to you.. A product key on the other hand, is where the cost comes into play.

Ooh, for windows 7 it seems microsoft has made it to where you must provide a product key now in order to create Windows 7 installation media.
Note: OEM keys will not work.

As for Windows 8.1, you can easily create installation media.
