Actually, edee, I did a complete hdd wipe now, so it should be good.
I've gotten wifi on the laptop with the fresh install. Downloaded MSE and MBAM, all clear! I've been following the SF OEM Clean Install tutorial. (Haven't installed any not found drivers yet because I'm also dealing with a laptop that was full of BSOD. So, I'm treading slowly to see if it's a hardware problem. )
Of course, the real challenge might be getting the backed up files back onto the laptop. I'm still having trouble scanning the external HD I mentioned with MBAM. I was able to individually scan some folders without MBAM freezing. However, the bigger ones kept freezing the program mid-scan. Still. (Note, I've gotten no threats from the ones I was able to scan, but like I said yesterday, MBAM was showing at least 13 detected objects before it would freeze and become unresponsive.)
I've got SuperAntiSpyware scanning it now, to see if that can complete a scan.
