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? |

Been off-line for a while. Thought it time for an update.
Machine finally got to the point it would no longer boot. Even in Safe Mode. Took the drive out and went to another machine Malwarebytes would hang about 15 minutes in re-install of Windows would hang about 1/2 way through Spinright 6.0 worked for almost 30 hours and was 2% complete At this point in time, I don;t know if the virus corrupted the boot sector, or the multiple hard crashes due to system lock corrupted a boot sector, or a combination of the two or I had a failing HD that made me think it was a virus the whole time. I lost a lot of data. Most noteably was activation codes for software I had installed and received via e-mail. I have now fixed that problem by saving them to a web-based e-mail account instead of a local account. What a PITA ... |
