Virus Problem W32/rontokbro.gen@mm. I Really Need Some Help

i too am plagued by the same worm. im currently using brontok washer to remove brontok's main files and all the infected executables but i dont think theres any program that can completely purge your system clean. first disable system restore, then google brontok washer. cant remember where i got mine but i think its www.softpedia.com. goodluck bro.

Hey dis virus also affected my system, i had to format the hard disk and install the latest norton anti virus. men the thing delete everything called Virus.

hi,
had virus problems recently, not the same type of virus but t was also a worm. i think it would help if you gave more detailed information, like the symptoms, blah blah.
in any case someone here suggested avg from www.grisoft.com/.
t worked.

Boy, this same virus is replicating in my system now. i need urgent help too. ialso want to know if its a new kind of virus. im trying to trace it back to hw it came into my system. please, i need urgent helpl oo

Thanks, i will do just that.

i have encountered these king of malicious worms as norton lab called them, one of the safest way is to backup your data and format them, done, that is it. most programms will tell u that your system has been cleaned, but na lie .  i dont know bout iquids advise, but whatever d case, best solution is FORMAT and replace your data, your system will be like new.

if its not avast or kaspersky antivirus, nothing else will wipe it off

There is hope for people infected by the rontokbro virus. I was on the verge of formatting my system when i came across a series of posts that eventually helped me get rid of the thing. Follow the steps in the right order and you should be ok.

1.Turn off your system restore
2. Download the damage clean up engine from trend micro website as well. it should be tsc( .exe or so)
3. Download an antivirus called sysclean.exe from the trend micro website along with its virus pattern file( should be lpt635 or something like that) and save     
in a folder directly in your c: drive (example spyware tools)- most important
4. Download a software called f-prot along with its virus pattern file also to the spyware folder( google f-prot and you will find it as well)
5. Download a software called brontgui. you will have to google and search for this one as well.
6. Unzip all downloaded files into the main C:\spyware tools folder (so that there is no other folder within it( such as f-prot of sysclean).  if while doing this, it asks you whether to replace any already existing files, click 'yes to all'
7. If you don't already have one, get a free antivirus such as avast! but do not install it. simply keep the installation file somewhere you can easily locate it. (kapersky might be the best but the pirated version is wack as it does not update properly)
8. Disconnect the computer from any network or the internet.
9. Empty all virus chests and then uninstall ALL antivirus programs.
10. Switch off/ restart your computer and hold f8 down immediately it starts to boot to put it into safe mode.
11. Select safe mode with command prompt and your operating system.
12. Login to your account
13. At the command prompt( C:> or C:>documents and settings) use the following commands to initiate the different antivirus programs you downloaded.

14.       cd\spyware tools ( or whatever you named that folder)
            C:>spyware tools> tsc (it will load)
            C:>spyware tools> brontgui (interface is simple to use- to be very sure, set the config to scan all files including those viruses cannot be in)
            C:>spyware tools> f-prot/NOFLOPPY (interface is simple to use- to be sure, set the config to scan all files including those viruses can't be in)
            C:>spyware tools> sysclean (this one takes over an hour to scan and is the most important so be patient )

15.Run all the scans at least twice.
16. Click ctrl+alt+del to open the task manager and locate restart.
17. Let your computer start normally.
18. Install your fresh antivirus (avast recommended) and let it restart your computer to do its own scanning.(If it doesn't ask to restart. locate and click 'schedule boot time scan' to make it restart)
19. When it finally restarts, connect to the internet, update your antivirus and you're ready to go.
20. if it still popps up (i'm sure very occasionally, run the scans again and you should be fine)
21. If you are still getting plenty pop ups, you might need to manually delete some registry keys by going to start/run/regedit and deleting the key Hkey_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Policies\Explorer\
Data: NoFolderOptions = 1 though i recommend getting someone who knows about tampering with a registry to do this.

22.If all this no work. carry your pc go mfm

Hey guys there is a way to removep rontok bro by yourself i would tech you but not now i am on phone when i log on to my pc

@theboy0808, please i will also like have a copy of that KAPERSKY if u dont mind. i had simillar problem with one of our systems, we actually reformated but i guess thats really not the best solution. email : edubenye@yahoo.com

tope-teadr! u r online! give me some tips please, 

hi, my systems was infected by this worm. the solution is that you should download either avira antivirus or kaspesky both will eliminate this worm panda 2008 edition is also good.

Is www.kaspersky.com or www.avg.com your official website or how can the website contribute to the virus problem??

TO GET your FOLDER OPTIONS BACK AND REGISTRY EDITING IE. ENABLE your REGISTRY, YOU DO NOT NEED TO FORMAT your SYSTEM AND LOSE DATA JUST PERFORM A SYSTEM REPAIR USING YOUR WINDOWS XP BOOTABLE CD AND YOU WILL BE FREE ENTIRELY.
