Brontok Removal Help

Hey again

The "cannot find boot.exe" problem has disappeared...my F, G, and H drives now open normally!

 

That's it, now that you are no longer getting errors opening drive F, G, & H.

If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

• If we used Pocket Killbox during your cleanup, do the below
  • Run Pocket Killbox and select File, Cleanup, Delete All Backups
• If we used ComboFix you can delete the ComboFix.exe file and associated C:\combofix.txt log that was created.
• If we used SDFix you can delete all the SDFix related files and folders from your Desktop or whereever you installed it.
• If we used VundoFix, you can delete the VundoFix.exe file and the C:\VundoFix Backups folder and C:\vundofix.txt log that was created.
• If we had your run FixWareOut, you can delete the Fixwareout.exe file and the C:\fixwareout folder.
• If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
• You can delete the ShowNew.Zip and GetRunkey.Zip files and the files that you extracted from the ZIP files. You can also delete the C:\newfiles.txt and C:\runkeys.txt logs that were created
• If you are running Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
  • go back to step 8 of the READ & RUN ME to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
  • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
• After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:

Just out of curiosity...I got this by hooking up my drive to an infected internet cafe computer, and I wonder if there is any way to protect my drive if I have to do this again in the future?

 

You're Welcome.

You could use something like ClamWin Portable to protect your USB drive.

 

Alright, thanks...I'll check out the portable apps on that site!
Thanks again for all your help!
