I did a partial sys. recovery,& installed windows to SP3,Office Outlook,IE-8,AVAST,to regain some functions but filled up 20% of my disk space in the effort. Have been through MSCFG,Add,& remove,older programs still exist,but are not linked,to desk top .lnk short cuts(Corrupted),damn
I hate that vague catch-all prase.HELP !  |
Damn, Virtumonde is one deadly bastard virus. I got infected I think 1 month ago (because I decided stupidly to disable my antivirus during online play) and got infected without even knowning it.
Once I stopped playing, gort back to the desktop and all the files had disapeared, the background was changed and the browsers were hijacked (even Opera !!).
I tried to boot into safe mode and repair but didn't work. As a last resort I copied all the important files on a secondary partition and reformated the primary partition.
First time I got infected in over 8 years.
