Hi waavlater,

At the moment it is not very possible to repair the infected files, as soon as the infection is detected in SafeMode and with the prescribed method it still is very questionable if there is a solution beyond the FFR method, that means f-disk, format and re-install. The launching of a DrWeb recovery CD is promising, but I haven;t seen these results yet,

I have this virus on a laptop. It is a bitch. FFR did not work - is there somewhere on a seagate drive that exe files can be stored outside the partition? I disabled restore, did a cold boot to a boot disk and boom, back it came.

You’ve got to unplug all your external drives.

I’m leaving system restore off and doing incremental disk images to a flash drive as I rebuild.
