Solve : Virus that can change your system 32 item?

Answer»

Hi
My computer is infected by some virus that I don't know, but this virus CHANGED some of my computer's system 32 item like kernel32.dll, user32.dll, shell32.dll, ntoskrnl.exe .Sometimes I can't use my keyboard or my monitor have no signal even if my computer is running. My friend has that virus and all of her drive C is changed.

If I re-setup my windows, that virus can be deleted, but my usb and my ipod is infected too, and if I connect them to the computer, my computer is infected, so there is no point in re-setup my windows, RIGHT?

Can you please help me remove this virus. By the way, do you know how to format the usb without making my computer infect by this virus again?

I'm very grateful if you can help me.Thank you.For the iPod and any other USB devices.

To remove this INFECTION, download & run this file.

Download Flash_Disinfector.exe by sUBs and save it to your desktop:

  • Double-click Flash_Disinfector.exe to run it.
  • Your desktop and icons may disappear. This is normal.
  • Follow any prompts that may appear.
  • Wait until the program has finished scanning, then please exit the program.
    • The tool may ask you to insert your flash drive, or other removable drives. Please do so and allow the tool to clean it up as well.
    [/LIST]
    • Please restart your computer.
    Running sUBs Flash Disinfector will target alot of auto run infections and create a hidden folder named autorun.inf on each partition and any USB drive you plug in, these dummy autorun.inf files will help protect your PC from reinfection because if the infected flash drive is then inserted, autorun looks for autorun.inf which would normally run the WORM but its then prevented by the dummy autorun.inf that is in place. If you have any USB drives please insert them when prompted when running the tool.

    Then see this post to clean the PC of malware.Thank you so much for your help.I have some question to ask, that's about how to use flash_disinfection.

    Ok, so if I have 3 usbs which are infected, do I have to do all this 3 times or I have just do this 1 time and any usbs I PUT in after will be disinfected?

    Do I have to repeat all that anytime I put my usbs in?

    By the way, I've already re-setup my computer, that virus is not found when I run AVG 7.5 Free editor anymore. When I used flash_disinfection on my ipod which is infected before (it showed files that were changed when I run AVG ), then I scan my ipod with AVG, it shows nothing too. Does that mean that my ipod was not infected before or just because the program influenced the result of the test?.

    Thank you for your help.
    You will need to do it to any usb device that is infected.

    I don't know what to think of the results from AVG. If you think something is infected it won't hurt to run them through Flash Disinfector.Keep in mind those files listed are changed whenever an AVG scan is run...this is normal AVG behaviour.Quote from: patio on February 21, 2008, 10:18:35 AM

    Good point Patio. AVG will report changes. As long as they aren't flagged as malicious then you are OK.Quote

    I'll keep that in mind, if I have any problem, I hope I can ask for your help.

    Ok, 2 last questions, if I used flash_disinfection on my usb and removed it, the next time I put the same usb in, do I have to run flash_disinfection on that usb again?

    Did flash_disinfection just help us to access to our usb without infectting our PC or it can help us cure the infected usb too (you know, make that usb is free of all viruses). If it just help us to access to our usb without infectting our PC, can I copy some files from the usb to PC or paste some files from my PC to that usb for use? Did that make PC infected?

    My usb is infected by virus, if I format that usb, does that usb still be infected or it is cured?

    Thank your very much for your help.Flash disinfector will clean it...but as EF says make sure to run it on ALL USB devices.

    If you have copies of the files you need a format will clean a USB drive as well...
