Any one ever get this cock-sucker of a virus?
I've been fighting this thing for over a week. So far the best results have been unplugging the network connection and doing deep scans with Hitman Pro Ad-Aware Spybot Spyware Dr. Enterprise Nortons ESET NOD32 The problem I'm having is that the HD activity goes berzerk at boot, progressively slowing the system till it crashes about 15 minutes later. So as you can surmize, I'm having to do these deep scans in small chunks. Frustrating ... Any one have any other ideas? |

Ur doing it wrong.
1. Boot in safe mode. 2. REGEDIT 3. Find "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" & RunOnce and RunOnceEx 4. Remove virus entries. Do not remove valid entries. If you don't know the difference, try googling each process name or have a pro look at it. 5. Open windows explorer and delete all the virus files. There might be another place that has the Run key you'll need to clean up. I like to open windows explorer and sort it by date. I'll then drill down into any directory modified since the date I suspect the virus was installed. AV programs can only fix what they know about. It may take the AV company some time to create a fix for it. |
