I FUCK LINEN IN MY SPARE TIME!
Grimey Drawer
I work for a large corporation's help desk and the occasional malware infection comes up on the computers of the people who call me. I've been able to scrub these computers clean manually by just a combination of resourcefulness, a good solid knowledge of known-good processes, and having Process Explorer at hand.

Process Explorer is great because it'll let you see every DLL file that an executable loads. Even better, it somehow is able to mark suspect DLL files in the list. It took a combination of using the sword of regsvr32 /u and being able to quickly get to certain file locations. Also there were times where I'd boot up the computer to the login screen, then go delete the bad files remotely because they attach to winlogon.exe. I've been able to defeat everything that came up at me so far.

I'm aware that nastier things are out there, but I already feel pretty competent against the current wave of shitware that's out there.
