I am not entirely sure If its infected explorer.exe as the virus does not
run in safemode and while running explorer.exe.. I have been able to extract
files with winrar and the exe files are not deleted upon extraction.. I have
even been able to install Outpost firewall in safemode and scan the system
with spyware.. it detected some spyware including bagle and removed it
then... when I restarted the system in normal mode the virus keeps
restarting the system imidiately after the desktop is shown.. This is
probably because the virus cannot delete outpost.exe as it is already
running as a service before the virus loads... so virus simply restarted the
system so I would not be able to fix anything..
I booted again in safemode and disabled outpost.exe service and surely
windows booted ok in nomal mode but looking in outpost installation
directory the virus deleted outpost.exe...
also the standard windows firewall service will not automaticaly start I had
to start it manually all the time..
I could not see any rouge running process in taskmanager and Ive even
installed WintaskPro and cannot find anything out of the ordinary.. Ive
disabled all other non microsoft services and microsoft servises I can
disable.. to no avail..
Its a shame...Evil people are getting smarter and smarter every day....
Could anybody recommend an antivirus software that will Install and run in
safemode as thats what I think is the only way I could have a fighting
chance with this virus..
Ive tried Nod32 AVG Norton Panda bitdefender... seems this virus has a
database of almost all known antivirus and security software..
Unfortunately I cannot just format and reinstall without knowing what has
gone wrong as this virus probably have infected some in our network and
chances are it will just return again...
I think someone recommended this thread to use the Helix LiveCD.
