Solve : Win32/Nsag?

Answer»

One of our pcs running Millinimun as been infected with a virus that AVG caught but is unable to get rid of.  Can someone please tell me how to remove this.  

The virus name is Win32/Nsag
Its in the C:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM file

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help

Marlene2Get yourself a windows 98 boot DISC (www.bootdisk.com), and boot from it with cd rom support.

Get to a command prompt.

Go to the root of C:
cd\

then change directory:
cd windows

then
cd system (or the folder where it resides)

then change the attributes of the file so you can delete it manually:
attrib -s -h -r -a

delete the file:
del

If it wont delete try changing the name or extension type:
ren > file.all (without the use of < or > and the are because idon't know the file extension)

remove the floppy and reboot.

Make sure the file is not needed FIRST though!!  Turn off System Restore, re-start in safe MODE & re-run AVG.

Do you frequent some shady places Marlene, you sure seem to pick up some stuff.  Do some research on smitfraud which is another name for what you have.
Do you get a 1/4 size blue screen warning from time to time ? ?

Last time i had to remove this from a client's machine i REMEMBER it being a royal pain you know where.

This is known as scumware and you will be throwing your money away.

Or just infecting your machine with something else!Actually, they make for good common sense detectors.

The RESULT can only be in boolean.Thanks for all your responses.....we got it off.
In response to FED, Its not my personal computer, its my husbands, and yes, I'm sure he does surf some shaky sites when I'm not around.  But he knows he has me and all of you out there that can fix it......not to worry!

Thanks again!Glad to hear you got it solved...
