    Hi all,

    My computer/laptop started to go a bit strange a few months ago, and my virus scanners tell me that I have the Win32/Ramnit.A and Ramnit.H virus.

    I have run both MBAM and ESET scans on it recently, and thousands of files seem to be infected. I have attached the results of the quick MBAM scan.

    Is there anything I could do to get rid of this infection?

    Thanks very much in advance.

    Hi and welcome to Major Geeks, brompcarlisle!

    In most cases the only safe and reliable way to properly remove Ramnit is to reinstall due to the damage it causes and also due to the security issues it opens. So let me first post a canned speech/warning about Ramnit.

    Hi there,

    I don't mind reinstalling actually as I don't have anything saved on this computer particularly. I don't use it for work. Reinstalling is akin to restoring factory settings right?

    If you are saying that's the best option then that is fine actually.

    Thanks very much for your help, much appreciated.
