Win32/Sality

Killerwoody · Jun 28, 2010

I had a issue with Win32/Neshta a while back now its Sality! I can't go in safe mode at all now for some reason and any .exe gives a run time error. When I try safe mode it starts to get then it flashes a blue screen then the comp restarts. The Neshta still pops up when I run .exe's but I can still run .exe! My Microsoft Security Essentials still pops it up but I remove and It still show's it no matter what. Should I just re load my comp? I can't reload my comp though I have no disc! Thanks for any help!

There a no guarantees that any removal tool can remove all of this. Nor are there guarantees that it can be removed safely. In most cases, the only suggested thing to do is reinstall since a PC could become quite unreliable if you don't. The choice is yours. If you wish to try a tool, then search for them an give them a run but you best backup personal data first and don't backup anything that is a executable.

Let's try an automatic tool from Kaspersky to see if it can help before we try to continue manually. In many cases, the only cure is a reinstall. Please download the below file to your Desktop:

Then extract the sality_off.exe file from the ZIP to your Desktop. Now run the sality_off.exe file by double clicking on it. Reboot and see where things stand. If still having a problem, run the below procedure also from Kaspersky:
