Re: Infected by trojans in pseudo-codec

Hello yst_dfm,

I am pleased you did install the Recovery Console.

The task I asked you about appears to have been created on 11/1/08, so given what you just said, I doubt it was something you created in the past and of course it was fine you deleted it.

I'd like for you to perform an online scan to search for remnants that may be lying about. Be sure to insert your I: drive so it may be scanned as well.

Using Internet Explorer or Firefox, visit http://www.kaspersky.com/kos/eng/par...avwebscan.html

1. Click Accept, when prompted to download and install the program files and database of malware definitions.


2. To optimize scanning time and produce a more sensible report for review:
  • Close any open programs
  • Turn off the real time scanner of any existing antivirus program while performing the online scan

3. Click Run at the Security prompt. The program will then begin downloading and installing and will also update the database. Please be patient as this can take several minutes.
  • Once the update is complete, click on My Computer under the green Scan bar to the left to start the scan.
  • Once the scan is complete, it will display if your system has been infected. It does not provide an option to clean/disinfect. We only require a report from it.
  • Do NOT be alarmed by what you see in the report. Many of the finds have likely been quarantined.
  • Click View scan report at the bottom.



  • Click the Save as Text button to save the file to your desktop so that you may post it in your next reply

**edit**

Another question for you about the D: drive. My understanding is that the D: drive would have been shipped containing the Recovery Partition. Did you burn that partition to CD or DVD and delete the onboard Recovery?
