Thread: Virus is not deleted or formatted hard disk.

My PC has a virus that can not be eliminated and which appeared in a compressed winrar file, the virus moves from side to side but not eliminated altogether.

I tried in Safe mode and nothing I tried with several anti virus free and they do not even detected is more of a friend has to pay no32 and this if it detects but can not delete I tested the spay bot, Ad-Aware, Super Antis payware Malware bytes Trojan Remover and it ended up not remove it after repeatedly formation My Computer delete the partitions and the virus is there yet.

Sometimes the virus stay in the boot sector of hard disk and in these cases the only way to eliminate them is to remove the active partition recreate it and format is the only way.

I used unlocker and unlock the file but does not eliminate it and sometimes yes, but reappears in the same place and sometimes in a different place. I have also formatted the partition and then deleted after I have returned to create the format and does not work and there is sometimes called AUTORUN.INF sometimes WLTRAYSVC, INF.DATA, ETC .

If you delete the partition, reboot the PC and boot with the operating system CD, you create a new partition and reformat you need to shrink the virus unless the OS CD takes you to gift included .

If you have connected some pen drive is possible that the virus is in the flash drive and the auto run is enabled. Check it all. Once you have everything well you recommend some programs.

What happened at the end of many battles is that another friend has installed on your PC the Ubuntu Linux operating system and review the usb from the system there appeared the file and since this system was not the slightest problem to remove thus solve what seemed complicated and Windows for now I'm even thinking of using Ubuntu for all the facilities and benefits offered .

figured that the virus was in the pen drive. As for Ubuntu I have not used so I can not tell whether it is better or worse than Windows or even know if it is compatible with the programs you usually use. Just ask your friend and that you report. if you're careful with the virus should not have problems with Windows.

After you do the cleaning recommended enters a fail-safe but there network and performs the scans with all your arsenal of security your problem probably skip this when you connect to the internet is so far the to be given.
