The article states:




>The only way to clean a compromised system is to flatten and
rebuild. That’s right. If you have a system that has been completely
compromised, the only thing you can do is to flatten the system (reformat
the system disk) and rebuild it from scratch (reinstall Windows and your
applications). Alternatively, you could of course work on your resume
instead, but I don’t want to see you doing that.<
