Laptop Booted With A Virus Flash
« on: September 26, 2007, 12:01 PM »

My colleagues's laptop was booted up with a flash drive that has virus. Now the system is having problem in loading the desktop.
After logging in with user account name and password, when it is about to load the desktop, it will just show Hibernating , saving document and shutdown. It keep on repeating the same problem. Any help in the House ? "(WIN XP)

@tope_teadr;

Don't give instructions wn u hvnt seen the system;

AntiEXE is a minor virus that dosnt really pose any serious threats, thats the way I look at it. The virus is also known ad D3, NewBug, Anti-Exe, BootDr79, NC-Boot, and it affects the Boot sector MBR Stealth virus, this means u can't even boot up to see the XP logo, what the poster said is that, he gets tu the log in screen which anti.exe will never let u do, and wn he tries to login, it automatically logs out - That is Brontok, a system on my network has it as I speak tu u which I'd work on later.
the so called virus ur scared of was discoverd 1995 and it's just a Common boot sector virus affecting both hard drives and floppy disks. Spread by booting from infected floppy diskette. Diskettes used in the infected machine will likely become infected as well. Uses stealth techniques to hide its presence in the boot sector. Tries to thwart standard behavior-blockers by redirected BIOS disk interrupt 13h to interrupt D3h instead.

You can remove that virus by downloading the protector plus antivirus software from the following link

http://www.protectorplus.com/download/download.htm

To get rid of the current virus on that Computer, U need Hiren's Boot CD 9.0, u shuld download an .iso file and burn image to a blank CD using a bruning software like, Nero, Roxio, alcohol, etc

If u find that hectic, see my next post, I'll show u what to do -but u need some hardware knowledge

What your going to do here is to open that system, remove the HDD and Slave.
The Image below shows a mother board, you do not have to couple the system up to switch on, just get another jumper cable and to connect your infected HDD to a free IDE port and boot into the virus free one . .

Now u can see your infected HDD listed in My Computer like a different partition, browse through it, back up your files and don't back up the virus too o  . . . . Tongue Grin

Safe man, if u experience problems, we can both be online while u work on the system . .

Ciao

Says Who . . . ? ? Yes! I agree with u that it affects the boot sector, bh come on man . . A virus since 1995 has no cure, Huh na AIDS? haba . .
2. . They are Antivirus CDs that let u boot up, It creates 50MB as Ram and loads a different OS apart from the one on ur HDD, so U have complete access to Scan the whole System.
