Fake XP security Centre/No access to net

[Viper]

Hi there,

Got a client with similar issue to the following:

http://www.lockergnome.com/blade/2008/10/22/beware-the-fake-windows-security-center/

Not been to see them yet but is the solution simply to delete the .exe file listed and stop the process? Has anyone come across this?

Downloaded lastest Microsoft anti-malware tool but client seems to think they can't install anything.

Ideas (format as last resort only!)....

Make a bootable AV CD, scan and remove the malware
