Windows Virus Abuse

I have had a virus for a long time and have tried to delete it many times. The amount of times i formatted my hard drive is unbelievable can any1 help me i dont no how to identify the virus, as i cant get into task manager my antiviruswont find it im gettin peed off lol any1 ne ideas how to identify it. thanks clark.2004 it just keeps cuming bak after evry reeboot

 

try a low level format.... a full not a quick. u can download the diskets from the hard drive manufacturs* website.
if it keeps coming back after reboot then its in ur bootsector... a low level format will format ur boot secotors aswell

carl

sorry about spelling

 

what virus is it/ what does it do/ how do you know youre infected?

 

I cant find low level format disk n e where on my manufacturers site (to be honest i dont really i dont really no wat im lookin for lol) my hard drive is western digital if n e 1 sees it on the site thanks pleeez link me

 

it wont let me get onto get into task manager wont let me get into my registry. Im sure its a virus cos it also keeps givin me remote procedure call then shuttin me comi down soo annoyin but ive managed to turn that off. I need a way to identify the virus or do that thing carl sed

 

fdisk the disk and also do a fdisk /mbr (to clkean the master boot record) and then format it and the virus will be gone. Obviously all the data on the hard disk will be lost if you do this.

sasser is gone after a format .... this virus is still there. its in his boot sector

 

.

 

Thats because the first thing n00bs do is go to warez sites and start downloading crap and they dont know what it is.

 

.

 

Well i dont go to crappy warez sites. I dont no if i have got rid ov it cos on microsoft site it sez pc is cleen from it but i must have another if that 1 is gone because i still cant get to task manager msconfig n regedit??

 

Does N E 1 no what virus this is? it stops taks manager regedit and msconfig from cumin up

 

Download norton or something and make bootable recovery disks so you can scan from dos before you install windows.

 

I solved my problem i think? i reebooted got mcafee security centre and firewall, installed that before i connected to the net. Then installed sp2 and updated and hav had no problems so far. God dam AVG is poo lol

 

Remember Monkey.b; it lived through fdisk's. Huge pain in the a**. If it reappears, try looking for older boot sector viri.

Its usually not entirely the user's faults its downloaded (often done at complete random), it's an exploit of Windows XP.
