Hey,

I was wondering...
I often clean up a PC that is badly infected.
Often I come across a machine that has multiple login Profiles.
Is it enough just to do the cleanup from one of the Admin logins?

Thanks

No. Some programs are installed for user only and malware will tend to hit a particular account being used, settings are different and need to be checked etc, the list goes on.

Agree with GuiltySpark. You need to scan all of the accounts.

You mean log into each account separately and go through all my cleaning tools?! Noooooooo!!!!

Well for a general AV scan you can use a AV bootdisc and scan the entire system but if other accounts are infected then you would need to go into each one a re-set any settings changes that may have been made by the malware.

It really depends on the type of infection Adware, Rootkit etc.
