Virus issues

Hi there, I'm trying to help a friend who's managed to get a serious virus on his Vista-based system....

The virus has disabled access to regedit, which is a pain. I tried to run gpedit.msc but the machine says it can't be found. Launching Explorer shows an empty disk (although I know the files are there, as I've booted from an Ubuntu Live CD and checked).

To add to the complication, his system has a RAID 0 boot disk (NVidia Ion Fake RAID, I think), which seems to cause a problem for some of the repair tools available (ie they don't even recognise that the drives are there).

Anyone have an idea of how to fix it??

Thanks for the prompt response Yard Dog. I'll give rkill a try - his machine is so dead I'll need to put it on an USB drive and hope his Explorer can find it.

I installed MalwareBytes on his machine earlier this year when he had a virus...

Cool, then after you get the process stopped, just a matter of updated mbam, Post back results please.
