Shut down my computer last night and upon turning the computer back on I had more than 50 virus notifications !
Avast has identified them as:
ExeDropper-gen (Trojan)
And
Win32 Rammit (Worm)
So far i have only moved the viruses to the chest
Yet Avast will not allow me to process a certain file disallowing me to move anything else
Try this
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.46 http://filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware/
always update the program before you scan
click the remove selected button to quarantine anything found
please post the scan log here if anything is found
Malwarebytes will not work against this as it infects HTML files
Download Dr Web from here http://www.freedrweb.com/?lng=en link on the top right of the page, tick the EULA and then download
It will download as an 8 digit file save it to your desktop
Restart in safe mode and run
Accept the enhanced version
Then run the quick scan
About halfway through you will be prompted to buy - just X the box closed
Once finished it will generate a log please attach that
Okay I have downloaded Dr.Web will post the log ASAP
Malwarebytes will not work against this as it infects HTML filestrue, but just in case there is something else in there........
Log File is too large
Still getting multiple notifications of the Win 32 Rammit worm & Trojan
Win32:Ramnit-F
The name of the worm…
upload the log at www.mediafire.com and post link here
Dependant on how deeply entrenched it is you may well be looking at a reformat here - so back up your data just in case - but not exe, scr, HTM,HTML
I gave up and reformatted yet forgot to backup data thankfully the computers only 3 weeks old so I didn’t have that much to lose…
Any ideas where I might have picked it up from and what I can do to protect from it in the future
You can red about the different versions here ( click the name fore detailed info )
