AVAST Installed Auto run worm need assistance..

AVAST found this worm…started AVAST memory test…showed my infection…sent me to Windows check…found each infection asking what I should do with each one…
I chose DELETE…guess I should have chosen REPAIR… :cry:
now after PC boots up my internet connect is out…cannot turn Firewall on…
all devices in Network Adaptor are yellow… cannot update these drivers…
Am at a loss as to what to do…
Can someone assist ? Would be most appreciative… :slight_smile:

Virus/worm is called Win32/Autorun BV I believe…
Sorry for not adding more info :using work computer/internet until my personal PC gets back in working order…System is 2000 XP SP3…Dell Dimension…

OR u could just install CPE17 Autorun Killer^^

Hi

You might prefer Flash Drive Disinfector
Download Flash_Disinfector.exe by sUBs from > http://www.techsupportforum.com/sectools/sUBs/Flash_Disinfector.exe < and save it to your desktop.

* Double-click Flash_Disinfector.exe to run it and follow any prompts that may appear.
* The utility may ask you to insert your flash drive and/or other removable drives including your mobile phone. Please do so and allow the utility to clean up those drives as well.
* Wait until it has finished scanning and then exit the program.
* Reboot your computer when done.

Note: Flash_Disinfector will create a hidden folder named autorun.inf in each partition and every USB drive plugged in when you ran it. Don’t delete this folder…it will help protect your drives from future infection.

Also see this link for more information on Flash Disinfector, http://experi3nc3.wordpress.com/2007/05/10/flash-disinfector-by-subs/

You could also perform a additional scan with stinger.exe: Free worm removal tool; McAfee Avert Stinger: http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/

Hi Thanks for your help…link to Flash Drive Disinfector does not work…
After the boot scan with AVAST I deleted each occurrence of worm rather than repairing it now I can not get into
the internet…cannot initiate ICS (error says no network hardware)…all drivers under Network Adapters are inactive yellowish)
tried to uninstall them (some I could not somehow they were reqd for system boot) but resulted in same condition…
my issue is how to I get back access to internet after I have deleted infected files?
re install deleted files I deleted rather repairing thru boot scan of AVAST…

Let your USB drive plugged and run Autorun Eater or Flash Disinfector, allowing them to clean up all drives. They would create hidden folders named autorun.inf in each partition and every USB drive plugged in when you ran it. These folders protect your drives from future infection. After that, reboot your computer.

:slight_smile: Hi :

When it comes to Flash Disinfector, Best to use the Bleepingcomputer Site
referred to at the “Experi3nce.wordpress” Site .

Why?
