Sorry if this is covered elsewhere. I did a search but could only find the same information I already have.
I cannot remove brontok. I have now tried 5 different removal tools (some say there’s no infection and some delete the files only for them to reappear minutes later - often during the scan!).
I have tried 3 avast boot scans with the same results.
I can’t find any of the listed registry entries in my registry (even when I search for parts of the strings).
I’ve tried everything I can think of or find on the net. I don’t know what version of brontok it is as it just says W32 brontok [wrm]. There doesn’t seem to be anything bad happening to my machine apart from avast finding the files in my all users/documents folder every two to three minutes (whether I delete them through avast, manually, or move them to the chest).
Avast is a great tool but why can’t it do anything about this thing?
Please help. It’s driving me round the bend.
Thanks.
