what do you do when you get a virus so bad that even avg can't handle it?
« on: May 22, 2010, 04:06:34 PM »
fucking christ... i can't open any programs or do ANYTHING under my own xp account, and my other ones keep getting blasted with pop-ups.  plus it keeps popping up this fake antivirus program that i would put my credit card number into if i was just a little bit stupider.  a virus scan brings up nothing, but avg's firewall keeps telling me some file called rsummoytdds.exe is trying to fuck with me.  i deleted it but of course it comes back.  i'm at a loss as to how i should fix this.

:'( i just wanted to see some titties :'(

I got one of those a couple of years ago, try to kill the process and them delete the folder, or run safe mode with networking off.

Do what Phoenix Dark said, if that doesn't work then download Combofix and run it in safe mode.

Yeah at a certain point I would just reinstall the OS. Though I've got my shit partitioned up so that the OS partition only has program installs and OS files so I never have to worry about moving shit around to prep (just bookmarks).

I got that same thing you did. Hate that fucking trojan. What I did is I had to rename Malware Bytes to iexplorer.exe because the trojan only allows internet explorer to run, so then you can run malware bytes and get rid of it.

When you're first reinstalling the OS, you should be able to map out partitions on the HDD (think of makin' slices in a pie giving larger slices to areas you want). In a 200GB HDD I could give the OS a 50GB partition and the rest of the space could to go various data. Also that in conjunction with the ability to map My Documents, My Music, My Pictures etc to different folders allows you to use those folders but have the data kept off the OS partition (this concept also works for physical HDDs).

yeah

also if you guys are downloading shady files ( from torrents or whatever)  theres a good chance no single antivirus will catch everything

I suggest uploading small files to http://www.virustotal.com/ for testing before you run shady shit

Most Trojans implant themselves into the recovery console, so you just get reinfected again.

Go buy/pirate NOD32. It's so good that it's the first antivirus I've actually paid for

pirating nod32 is a waste of time unless you like looking for new keys every week since they use a blacklisting system to prevent unauthorized updates

I dunno if they do anymore. It used to expire every couple weeks when I was pirating it, but I installed it on a friend's computer and the keys I give him from http://www.nod321.cn tend to last until they're up now. You just have to disable NOD before you go there because the site is blocked by the program lolol
