Let us say you have a Windows XP machine that is being eaten alive by a trojan.  You have no internet access.  What do you do?

Mine:

a) Boot into safe mode.
b) Run every anti-suckware thing you do have installed.
c) Check Add/Remove Programs for anything that looks weird - long shot, but why not?
d) Get a thumb drive or burn a CD or ask a friend to send you a CD or something, but somehow acquire and make available these programs:

* Spybot
* Ad-Aware
* AVG

And run those on repeat a lot.

Honestly, I've not kept up with good anti-suckware software, though I continue to avoid Symantic like the syphilitic plague that it is.

So, what would you recommend?
