.exe file VIRUS HELP

Post by Righteous »

I have this bastard virus on my machine that is attaching to all the exe files on my system.

I have NFI how to get rid of it short of formatting (really not an option).

Running Virus software now, hopefully will get rid of it. But thus far it just finding it everwhere but cant get rid of it...

AAARGH!!! :yikes:

you may not like it, but it looks like a format is the best thing for this!

Mother FU%^&%*

I have an external Hard drive..

IF I chuck all the programs on there that I want to reinstall, wil hte virus go with em?

At the moment it seems that its just the installed files that are infected, not actually any of the installers.

I seem to be killing a the vast majority of the bugs, but it there are a about 6 files that the AVF stuff cant quarantine or clean.. Im guessing those farkers are just gonna give me headaches?

Thus far 493 files have been found infected :(

Im gonna kick some heads in when I find out who sent me that LOL..

On my "to kick" list are

HZ
KNAPPO
GAVO (This could be it as have never dealt with the boy before)
Woodsy ( Me thinks this unlikely)

So one of you delightful boys have sent something my way, as I recall on msn it warning be about a potentially dodgy file. Oh the shame in ignoring it :(

The file it is having trouble getting rid of it JAVA_BYTEVER.AQ and JAVA_BYTEVER.S

try starting your computer in safe mode, then redo the virus scan. when it finds a file thats infected, if it can clean it good. if it can't delete the file urself!
