And there left behind after a "full" uninstall of Webroot was the registry entry for wrsa.exe, Webroot's main program file. Then I thought to search the registry for possible leftovers from Webroot.

Even after uninstalling Webroot, rebooting, uninstalling AVG and rebooting, Installing AVG again and rebooting - the Boot Time Scan still would not install. Since Webroot worked well alongside AVAST I mistakenly believed that would be true with AVG as well. It turns out that AVG Boot Time Scan will not install while the antivirus Weebroot Secureanywhere is active on a computer. *I know that this is no silver bullet ( nothing is, really), but I do have a feeling it's more likely to help than doing the scan* within the infected system.I have solved my issue. Comes from some sort of trusted source (no Windows Antivirus 2009).Can handle Windows filesystems (FAT 32, NTFS, WinFS -) ).

Discovers malware fairly well (like, Avast, AVG, Norton, whatever - I think the're all the same anyway).

Runs at boot time (off USB key or CD-ROM).

That way, the malware is just lying on the disk and cannot do any of its hide-and-seek stuff (provided the AV comes from an uninfected PC and all that). I think the best way to go (besides clean reinstall of the OS) would be to have an antivirus running at a boot time from a CD or a USB key. Its users are running an antivirus, but there's always the risk that something slips past and the way I see it, once the system is infected the antivirus is useless because the malware can hide itself from the AV. I want to check for viruses on a computer that I suspect may be infected with malware.
