Soooo.....

My wife got one of those pop-ups that says you have a virus and you need to run the scan. In all her infinite wisdom, she clicked to run the scan. Now it's got her computer 13 different kinds of FUBAR. I downloaded the rouge removal to a jump drive and copied it to her hard drive. I tried to run the components and every time I start the components up and the "Security Tool" gives me an error and closes the program.

The instructions say to run it in normal mode. Any suggestions? Should I try it in safe mode? Thermonuke the whole ****ing thing? What say you?
