COMPUTRACE: HOW TO DISABLE

I went over a friends house.
He had the computrace screen of death…
He bought the pc from ebay…
computrace is lojack for the pc…
its built right into the firmware…
He had tried contacting the seller, the manufacturer of the pc and computrace.
He got zip…
He tried getting fresh firmware for the main board…
He got zip…
He tried slaving hard drive then scanning it…
He got zip…

So we searched google and found the following…

if you can get into your task manager and end the processes rpcnetp.exe and rpcnet.exe and then go into \Windows\System32\ and delete rpcnetp.exe, rpcnet.exe, rpcnetp.dll and rpcnet.dll then open notepad (just a blank pad) and go Save As, Save As type ‘All Files’ browse to /Windows/System32/ and save it once as rpcnetp.exe then again as rpcnet.exe, then again as rpcnetp.dll then one last time as rpcnet.dll then make each of those files Read Only. Well, it wont be able to load anymore

Now say you can’t get in then slave the hard drive and get into pc via Linux Distro Livecd or linux distro livecd thumb drive or linux distro os based pc… and edit the files mentioned above…

and for the love of mike… don’t put computrace infected hard drive into a noninfected machine… it might activate any trace of computrace in the firmware on the new machine…
