Hello from California. Also issue with virut.56

Hello yall.
I have been working in the IT industry for over 12 years. I am no genious or by any means a know it all. I am however a natural tinkerer. I have my ccna and my A+. Worked at Apple tier 2 for over a year and a half. I was one of the head team leads for Leopard release team. Good times getting a new os 3 days before its release. Ya blah blah blah. Hello fellow nerds and what not. I work for a 2 million dollar up and coming tech support company. Anyways just joining the the crew here at MGSF.

Ya so i well have an updated post with the virut.56 that i have. I am also tring to make a new bootable iso with part "Bart's Preinstalled Environment (BartPE) bootable live windows CD/DVD" and some other tools for maleware removal as well as some tools to deal with basic settings. My target is mostly xp but i know as you all do that i have to deal with vista crap. I well update as much as possible. usb20

 

Ya i am hoping to implament a bootable iso that can resolve this infection as it seems to be one of the most infections problems. Its really hard to remove as it infects all exe files. But for the time being its my major target. I have had 3 machines using different machines with the same problem. Another issue is this infections can infect over networks and over usb drives. Its a beast to get rid of I have yet to find a tool that can remove this infection. I have tried all of ur tools and them some. It just gets to a point where the computer needs B/F/R = "Back up" "Format" "Reinstalled" Even in that endavor this infection can reside/ Always resides in memory. Its a pain to get rid of. Any suggestions besides the tools you have listed?

 

:wave and welcome to MG's..

 

Hi there,

I let my son's friend use my PC and the next day my PC had the "Virut" Virus.
It spread through my entire system. Grrrrrrrrrr

I note you mention "Virut. 56." So I'm assuming there is only one version of the "Virut" virus.

I was able to remove it to the Chest of my AV ..."Avast Antivirus".

Don't know if that's any help to you or not.

EDIT.

I've just noticed it's the Virut32 that I have.

Hi TimW and thank you for your welcome message.

I posted my message in the hope that it may have been
of some help to usb20
ie...My Avast AV managed to pick up the "Virut" Virus and
I was then able to send it to the Virus Vault.

Apologies if I got it wrong.
