I am trying to remove the UPS virus from a friends laptop with not much luck and after reading info from the web I think the safest option is to do a format to make sure the os is clean.
The problem is windows wont load because the trojan has edited explorer.exe so when windows loads I get the desktop but no taskbar or icons and no access to task manager.
Is it possible to copy files from the documents folder on the hard drive to a usb pen whilst in DOS?
My only other alternative is to install linux and take the files that way but it is a bit of a hassle to install and remove if there is an easier way?
