Virus i need help...

**FrEeBaSe** · 02-26-2010

I had this exact same virus and reformat was the only way!!!!! I tried spybot, avas, norton, and had a tech from the local computer store come over and work with it for an hour only to say "c-format time".

I will now backup my important files every week. The reformat only took about 2 hours

Your local computer tech is teh fail....Most virus you can recover from, just take patience and know how.

Tell him to check out Microsoft Security Essentials. It's free to dl/use and it has real-time protection that won't use too much resources.

I have a few friends who swear by it, one who repairs and recovers data for a living. He told me that it has blocked multiple worms when he's slaved client's HDD's to his comp.

Well in case that doesn't work. You're best bet is to Reformat I had this problem and reformatting doesn't take that long, just a pain in the ASS.

In addition, if you do reformat download AVAST it is an awesome antivirus.
