Alright, this is going to take the likes of an expert. I have spent all my knowledge of this computer and it still remains unusable.

So this is the situation. Apparently one of the people who owned this computer had downloaded a virus while download porn or music. Limewire strikes again some would say.

I thought this would be a simple issue of just installing anti-virus/ anti-malware. Problem is, I am 90% certain this is a bot and not a virus or malware. So what happened is that something has created an new Administrator account called Administrators, using that account, had weakened the Admin account so I can't change the Administrators account.

The new admin account had made it so that I cannot install any new programs, nor could I use the internet. Not only that, but now I can't change any settings because I don't have permission in any account to do so.

I tried using Slackware to see if I could see the account and its password, but I couldn't. I tried using ERD 2005 and 2007 to see if I could change it through there however everytime I tried to use it, the computer would BSoD on me so I had no luck with that. I tried using CCleaner, no luck. I tried using Malwarebytes, couldn't install. I tried installing HiJack this, and it wouldn't install. I tried all of this in safe mode, no dice. I tried getting the i386 presets on the computer, but no dice as well.

What am I missing to complete this project? What haven't I tried?

What OS are you running? Im assuming windows If I were you Id reinstall windows, and keep your hard drive partition in tact, then once windows is reinstalled.. go under documents and settings.. find the "Adminstrators" folder and delete that completely. Your OS has been compromised too much in my opinion to try anything else. This way you can keep your old files and delete that "Adminstrators" account.
