Guys,
anyone know what this virus could be, this image comes up when i press Alt/Ctrl/Del or Ctrl/Shift/Esc, The screen will then fade to black.
It looks to me like some kind of Boot Virus, I can’t boot the computer from a recovery disk.
Thanks
Do you have USB flash and access to another PC? What is your Windows version?
Yea i have access to both, It is a Widows Vista Laptop
just now i managed to get access to the PC, i Kept pressing the windows key, so running a full scan now and scheduled a boot time scan
Boot scan probably won’t help you, just wasting your time.
Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool x64 and save it to a flash drive.
[*]Plug the flashdrive into the infected PC.
[*]Restart your computer and tap F8 to bring up the Advanced Menu, then click Repair your computer
[*]Follow the prompt to enter keyboard input method, and then the prompt to enter a password. If the machine does not have a password, simply click Enter.
In the next menu, use the arrow keys on the keyboard to highlight Command Prompt and press Enter.
[*] In the command window type in notepad and press Enter.
[*] When notepad opens, click File and select Open.
[*]Select “Computer” and find your flash drive letter and close the notepad.
[*]In the command window type e:\frst64.exe and press Enter.
Note: Replace letter e with the drive letter of your flash drive.
[*]The tool will start to run. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
[*]Press Scan button.
It will make a log (FRST.txt) on the flash drive. Please attach it to your reply.
Boot scan probably won't help you, just wasting your time.And will take a loooooong time
