Hmmm, I just got a PM from a Nairalander asking how I was able to get rid of the virus that infected my PC so I think it'd help if we can post how we got rid of all these viruses |

semid4lyfe: All these viruses/malware wey una dey mention have nothing on Renouce/readme.eml and Virus.Chir I tell ya For me it used to be Ralia Odinga after my experience with it in 2005, until I met the network monsters last month; Nimda.Win32.*@mm (a.k.a. Runouce.exe/readme.eml) and Trojan.Chinky.vb.U. They wrecked havoc across my network, rendered important server applications useless. Traditional antivirus scanning techniques cannot get rid of them completely, you need to go into the bowels of windows to smoke them out. Then there's 'Cheesy'; a worm I wrote in school |

I copied a banner designed by a friend to print out from my computer. Immediately I coppied the file to my desktop, the files icon on my desktop changed. Porn virus I think was the name. I saved my files on hard disk but forgot my music file. Horrible experience I must say. |

Best way to avoid virus, dnt ever accept a flash drive into ur system. It is a mother carrier of virus. |

About 2 years ago, the network(with over 120 pcs) I managed was attacked by sality and virut, both win32 viruses because the management refused to buy an enterprise antivirus for easy management. It was so frustrating because loads of user accounts where being locked at random at the same. The viruses use brute force to try and access an account, which fails on the third try and the account locks. Finally, I was able to narrow down the exact systems these viruses were using as launch pads, slaved the hard drives to a clean system and scanned EVERY folder with Norton 2008. It was not a pleasant experience. |

Worst virus I ever encountered........Sality The damn thing infected all executable files on my system......I had to format, BUT I forgot to delete all former EXE softwares I got. Saved on the system earlier, with a single click to reinstall some of them, it cam back...I had to delete all my softwares except. D ones saved as RAR/ZIP I've been free fro virus attack ever since, currently celebrating my 2nd year. D funny thing is dat I dnt use antivirus anymore.. No matter what, I don'kt use my system administrator to collect files through flash, I use a limited user account. I also make use of ubuntu once in a while most exoecially when I get a malware.... I just figure out the name and where it is hidden, log in with ma ubuntu and delete..... I also have loads of OS as bootable flash drives for emergency purpose 1 Like |

Look at Semid4Lyfe crying about Renounce/Readme.eml! Isn't Renounce one of the weakest and easiest virus files to remove? It can even be done without an AntiVirus by simply booting the computer in Safe Mode, searching and erasing all files with EML format in the volume, opening up regedit and eliminating the insignificant rookie virus. What about BronTok (the one I suffered) that completely DISABLES your Regedit to even begin with? Oh, but it doesn't stop there. Brontok (A) Norbet goes on to DISABLE and REMOVE your "Folder Options" function, CLONE every single file folder in your computer with an EXE look-alike (still with a folder icon), automatically opens a webpage that tells you to stop viewing pooorn (along with a dialog box that says, 'Anda Setuju?'), closes and restarts the computer whenever you try opening a DOS file, shuts down the computer if you dare type the keywords "antivirus" and "registry" in your browser search page!!! Bros, leave talk mehn, BronTok is the WORST thing I've ever seen when it comes to viruses. 1 Like |

Brontok was a bad a$$ way back Same for Nimda too Then there was this malware about 3 years back [cant recall the name] which repeatedly prevented my login attempts. Solved it with Malwarebytes. Best thing though is to give Windows OS's a wide berth seeing they are always phucked when the viruses come calling Sunymoore: How can a virus infect my sys after i have kaspersky,norton,malwarebytes and usb disk security. Cracked ones by the way. Beside my windows 7 ultimate is also crackedYou setting yourself for grief Hope you know |

Raila Odinga...the name still sends shivers down my spine till today. Experienced it in 2008, wiped my Final year project draft..I had to retype all over. It was a real menace then in School. Very hard to remove,I had to reformat my system. |
Re: The Worst Virus/Malware Infection You've Had On Your PC? by Nobody: 1:40pm On Dec 11, 2012 |
