Hello,
I contacted you last week concerning a boot virus and you directed me to"
drive scrubber"(nice product)
problem is that even with a 7 hr complete wipe, I still have the virus.I
have unpluged my machine and removed the battery and all memory overnight
and cleared the cmos
when i reinstall windows xp (any version)on this HDD the same thing happens
........For about five minuites after connecting to the net everything is
fine .. then all of a sudden i cannot connect (even though my connection is
showing active) i tried to scan with various online scanners but it wont let
me download them giving me various error messages ..I have even tried
loading full virus protection from a cd (norton internet security 2006)but
it stopped the live update process.... same with trend micro, this virus is
STEALTH and after about 20 min the pc basically locks up. and cpu is
overworking . also you cannot set the drive as slave and scan because the
virus will infect the master drive (already happened )I took my pc to
another repair technician and he didn't want to hook it up to his.( He has
no idea either) I did some research and i believe i have a root kit virus ..
there is a program on the net called "ICESWORD" that detects rootkit virus
but i do not know how to use the program and it has no instructions with it
..Its found on the sysinternals site.If anyone has any info on this type of
virus and how to remove it please contact me in this form .. i have 2 HDD
down and a 6 gig travel drive that i cannot use
after a week im running out of ideas nothing shows up in Hyjack this .
cannot download virus software in safe mode with networking & scanners will
not work in safemode either
Please help
