    Hi I seem to have a dose of Ramnit A running through my netbook.

    I discoverd it when I ditched PCTools for MSE

    See attached MGTools results - I have combofix at the ready - what's the next step?

    Before we run Combofix and other tools let's do this.


    Run this and attach the results. (It is going to take some time but I need to see how deeply it is set in)

    Using ESET's Online Scanner

    Well the first scan came back with 822 infections. (I'd started running it before your kind response). Since then MSE and ESET have come back clear (you can see in the log).

    Trurned out to be Ramnit.R - apparently that's a common mistake for MSE to make...

    Obviouslly the OS is a bit patchy - Luckilly I don't think it's wiped out anything crucial.

    My concern this morning was I I didn't know how to generate the instruction list for combofix, otherwise the guide is pretty good - altough maybe it needs an update now ESET is flavour of the month?

    We usually advise people to run at least two or three scans using the online ESET so please let it do another run through and attach the results if it finds anything.

    ESET scanner could not replace the combofix step, that is important. We will cover that angle later.

    Sorry for the Delay - guess this is a trans continental conversation! - I thought I'd set it to run before I went to bed, but I must have been wrong..

    Anyhow ESET came back clean again, So what's the next step?
