Of course the siblings f's up the computer and I seem to be the IT guy in the house. I take a look at it and everything on the laptop seems to be infected. Tried going into device management/msconfig/task manager but a popup saying rundll32 is infected and it won't let me access it. I can't even disable my network connections on there.
So I decided to reboot into safe mode to do a virus scan, no go either gave me a BSOD. I don't know where the restore cd for the laptop is as well.
What you need to do is download rusn.exe and install it on the c drive partition of the main OS loading protocol. Copy and past the files and insert it into line 231 of the start up string line. Be sure to copy and paste the system.exe to the rs32 and look fopr any malfunctions with the obot file that is loaded after the hexezr.epu loading kernel.
Actually I made all that crap up. Tell siblings to stay off the porn and you will not have any problems later. Can you boot it up in safe mode? If it is a virus, DL AVG off the interweb and run it.
If you can still boot normally, and have access to another PC download Malawarebytes. Install it, run a quick scan, reboot. Run a full scan reboot. See how bad the PC functions at this point, most likely if it's gotten that deep into your system files your Windows installations is swiss cheese now, and will act buggy as all get out. If not, good, run AVG or AVIRA and keep it updated, otherwise you will be doing this once ever couple months.
I haven't dealt with Sony laptops, but, assuming they do like most manufacturers these days there should be a sticker with your XP/Vista key on the bottom of the laptop. Find a normal copy of the OS that is on the computer, install and use the key from the sticker on the laptop. Without the original disks you may have to fight to get some drivers, but Sony should cover most of that on the website.
I'm just going to format with my vista disk and manually download the drivers for the laptop.. this is the worst I've ever messed with. Everything I try to open gives me some rundll32 has been infected do I want to run anti virus and would not let me open most crap.
Download UBCD and run the anti-virus that's built into it.
Alternatively, you can use Windows PE to get all your crap out and maybe check to see what's going on.
Good luck.

Download UBCD4win and burn to CD, run SuperAntiSpyware as it will actually update itself to run current definitions, run a complete scan and see if there are any detections.
Had two PCs at work that were getting BSOD booting to safe mode and it found a lot of viruses and after the scan, worked like a charm...
