Remove the harddrive and connect it as a slave to a second (trusted) PC and scan the drive with AV software on the second PC. 2) If you don't do (1), then check the hosts file for tampering. 3) Hardcode your DNS entry on the PC in question. Go to your TCP/IP properties and set the DNS to 4.2.2.2. That will bypass any dynamic DNS assignment that you're getting from your ISP or your modem/router. Your modem/router may have been infected with something.

Worthless proposition as it is a waste of time. Any software can change the attribute back to Read/Write.
