Turns out I do have time to play around with the infected drive.
The link you gave me was unresponsive so I decided to download trial AVs.
Install and use them (not at the same time) to scan the infected drive.
First one was Avira Antivir, then eset NOD32. Followed by BitDefender. Now
I'm running Kaspersky.
Each one finds a few more infections that the previous AV product can't
find.
NOD32 detects legitimate files (such as iTunesHelper, nmon.exe) being
trojanized. They're disinfected but I hard deleted (SHIFT DEL) them anyway.
BitDefender finds infections mostly in the:
\System Volume Information\...
\Recycler\...
I have deleted all files found in the D:\System Volume Information\ and
D:\Recycler
(D drive is the infected HD).
Now I am running Kaspersky AV.
