Turn the wifi off, or take it somewhere where there's no wifi, and start it up.
This works, even if you disconnect your home router temporarily.
I'd strongly recommend using an external boot disk to save your important documents. Beware of any zips or executables within those directories you're backing up, they also may have been modified. You can also just pull the hard drive out and stick it into a USB hdd adapter and plug it in like it's a regular flash drive. Again, be careful or you may infect your personal system as well.
Cool thanks.
Sure, good luck and keep us posted.
This occurred to me as I typed the original query. I wonder how much control the guy has and whether we can even get into the files.
