infected now, avast, mbam, sas, spybot S&D fail to find it

@DavidR: yes! many people think about these kind of risk as stupid actions!!

@Tech: I’ve not enough free space to take back-up, do you have any suggested program to take back up on DVD disc easy and fast to use them as recovery disk? :slight_smile:

@mevcit: enjoy :stuck_out_tongue: :wink:

Go to this page http://easeus.com/download.htm and look for: EASEUS Disk Copy

It’s supposed to be used with an external hard drive, but that will be faster to use than a DVD.

Actually, if you google search for backup programs, I’m sure you’ll find plenty to use.

Thank you :slight_smile:

Oh, this episode of Systm might help you too…

damn! again I’m infected after clean install windows… I did format… but… the Vitro is back!

Omid, take a look on this: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=43904.0;topicseen

Did you use fdisk to recreate the partition and overwrite the MBR (I think Vitro uses it to reinfect, I’m not sure…).

Or maybe it infected a flash drive or some other external media. Check those too if you suspect them…

No, just using format option in my windows recovery disc that came with my laptop

Yes! same! all my .exe files that I’ve used durin last infection mode have get infected with this damned virus! it come back again when I run them…

-= :o You seem to put all trust to Avast… ;D

-= It was trustworthy afterall… hehe…

huurraaah!! my system now is clean! thanks to new AVIRA!!! it could find all risk and now it seems my system is working normal

-= In that case… Are you having plans to switch to avira…?

I never take the initiative to use avast antivirus;)

So, you’re on avast forums to check how it works, how is the support? ???

Avast protection because it automatically, so I do not have to take the initiative ;D

I see… I thought initiative was meaning another thing…

I don’t know! AVIRA has his own problems too, like make delay to open web-sites and…
some of last problems in new AVIRA 9 is fixed, like loud alert sound and false postive is fewer than before…
maybe I back to avast! and care more about what I’m doing and maybe not, this is what I’ve seen

I did scan my drive with avast! and it found 10 file infected
then I did install AVIRA and did scan same location and it found 134 infected file… yes! 134 different file… now tell me what to do!

Means nothing… could be only one infection missed, could be an Avira false positive…

no! I believe it’s not false positive, about 120 of those 134 was W32/Virto.Gen and virto is already detected by avast, the different is between on power of scan and…
I never want to disturb avast!, avast! is a great anti-virus with so many benefites… easy to use for everone, small updates, easy to manage, large database of virus and compatible with any OS and other software…

for example one of them was foxit setup files, I did install it with avast! and found nothing, install it on my windows and get infected, then I did scan it with avira and detect sample of virto inside that… Tech…!!! hope alwil add things in next update to make it possible to detect with avast, I’m not enemy! I am friend!! :wink:

Did you submit (some of) the files to virus@avast.com to allow detection improvement?
