I recently posted about a virus (or two) that my computer picked up and got some good help on what to do about it. I think my computer is clean now, but it’s still behaving strangely, and I think it’s because of actions avast took when it became infected.
It moved many .sys files into the virus chest (50 if I count correctly). They are all listed as being infected by “Win32:Bubnix-J [Rtk]”. They all seem to have come from C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers. Some of them still appear in that folder. Ever since, my computer hangs for at least 5 minutes after I log into my account (today it hung for 30 minutes) so that I cannot go very far into any folders or see the taskbar or task manager. Until I finally hear the Windows theme play after waiting for that 5 or more minutes, I have these problems, and then the computer seems to act normally, except for the rather major problem that I can’t use USB flash drives.
After someone mentioned it to me, I noticed that when I insert the flash drive, the USB Mass Storage Device listing under the Universal Serial Bus Controllers list has an exclamation mark next to it. It says under Properties that “Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged”. The same message and exclamation marks appear next to Microsoft Kernel Acoustic Echo Canceller, Microsoft Kernel Audio Splitter, Microsoft Kernel DRM Audio Descrambler, and Microsoft Kernel GS Wavetable Synthesizer under Sound, video and game controllers.
I’m not sure what to do here. My guess is that avast is preventing the infected files from running and that’s causing errors in the system. Should I delete the files, and try to get new, clean copies? If so, how would I do that?
Sorry to bring this up again, but I figured making a new topic would be the fastest way to solve this and get it out of the way. I’ve included a list of the quarantined .sys files at the bottom of this post.
