Charlene Infection

After a user complained of popup windows advising her to download antivirus software, I checked the system with Spybot Search & Destroy. Spybot found the following malware on the system:

FunWeb
FunWebProducts
MyWay.MyWebSearch
MyWebSearch
TagASaurus
Zlob.VideoAccessActiveXObject

I also found that the popup ad was appearing whenever Internet Explorer was opened. When Interenet Explorer was opened it would go immediately to http://aprotectservice.com/, which would result in a dubious W32.Myzor.FK@yf virus warning appearing.

Remotely Enabling Remote Desktop Protocol

If you need to enable Remote Desktop support on a system in a domain from the domain controller, you can do it by editing the HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server key in the registry of the remote system. By changing the value of fDenyTSConnection from 1 to 0 and then rebooting the system, you can enable Remote Desktop support.
