• How to remove an infected file in the folder SYSTEM VOLUME INFORMATION on T43?

  Respected Sir/Madam,

  Recently, I have bee affected by a series of blue screen errors. Norton AntiVirus and other well-known software just crash. Update of virus definitions files are reported as being corrupted. Fortunately, I used this SPYWARE DOCTOR which founf a file infected by HACKIT name. ROOTKIT in the SYSTEM VOLUME INFORMATION folder, which is hidden from the usual interface of WINXP.

  Please suggest some methods on how to DELETE the infected on this hidden folder?

  IF I MAKE THE HIDDEN VISIBLE THROUGH THE IBM R & R PARTITION, IT WILL HAVE AN EFFECT ON THE DATA ON THE DRIVE? ALSO, AFTER YOU DELETE THE INFECTED FILE BY USING THIS METHOD, IF I SWITCH IT BACK TO HIDDEN, WILL BE IS TO HAVE NO EFFECT ON THE CURRENT HARD DISK CONTENT?

  pleas suggest alternative methods to get rid of this infection.

  Thank you!

  SYSTEM VOLUME INFORMATION is your Restore.As system an alternative to do a factory restore, try flushing the system restore, then you can start fresh. This procedure will not delete your saved data and apps like restoration to the State of the plant would be.

  In order to remove the XP System Restore Points:
  (On XP, you must be logged in as an administrator to do.)
  Go to start > run and type msconfig and press ENTER.
  When opens in msconfig, click Launch System Restore.
  On the next page, click System Restore settings on the left.
  Check the box enable the system restore.

  Reset. Reassemble and turn on system restore. A new Restore Point is created.

  So, if you still have problems, it would mean that you have active running malware, or you have run at the same time a scanner that was falsely reported as this file, please come back. Often our malware removal tools are captured by General scanners as "Hacktools.

• Need help have infected files in the files C:\SysVolInfo and drwtsn32.exe

  Since writing in days ago and got the help of support Ben everything went well. Today got on the internet and page keeps telling me to download adobe Flash Player again and it is supposed to be already in my files that I had put them there. Where they went I don't know? My antivirus ran this morning to tell about the infected files in the system volume information files. Presented those avast and have not heard of them. So they are sitting making me crashing. Now, I get an error message about drwtsn32.exe - Postmordem debugger. Type of event: BEX P1drwtsn32.exe etc etc. Help?

  Hi and thanks for responding. I thought I was in trouble. I have Windows XP SP3 Home Ed. I went back for the safety of MS for a quick scan Scanner and found no errors. Re-scanned all files with my Avast antivirus and again came to the top with two infected files. I put them in quarantine. Then decided to back the System Configuration utility, run msconfig and that really put everything in order, but still had the crash. Watched the sysconfig utility Services and I saw had Lass of DCOM Server and also drwtsn32.exe process came as error Postmordem debugger in the analysis report. So I made a Safe Mode and reset the permissions for the files. After the reboot, everything is running normal and be online without crashing. I hope Avast gives me a report on these infected files, I had. I'm going to Microsoft Security Essentials for a better security environment. Thanks for the good advice.

• OneCare still detects a problem after that I have scanned/deleted the infected files used malwarebytes anti-malware

• After update my WebRoot showed the infected files.

  Installed the update KB2883201 and KB2885699 today and after I restarted my Webroot protective hemen advised me of 2 infected files.  I removed and then them reread - all of a sudden there were 18 more infected files.  My antivirus has removed all threats, but if anyone has had this problem?  How updates of Windows can have virus inside if they come from Microsoft?

  Hi Suzanne,.

  Outside these Windows updates, there are any changes (hardware or software) on the computer before the show?

  You will find the Description of these KB articles:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2883201/en-us

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2885699/en-us

  Updates of Windows will never contain any viruses. These Windows updates are necessary for the computer to work properly because they improve the performance of the computer.

  Answer please if you have any questions.

• Performance issues because I don't have any volume in my system after you have removed the infected files

  I have a few files that were infected so I deleted them. Now, I don't have any what volume in my system please help or direct me to a program that I have to reinstall thanks in advance!

  You will need to tell us more about your system and exactly what "I have no volume on my system" means.

  Unfortunately, the implementation of MS Answers forums does not prompt for any information system when a new question is asked, so we don't know anything on your system.

  Not knowing the basic informations of a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues, but that's the way they choose to turn things around here.

  Thank you owners MS Answers, continue to make solving simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

  Please answer the following questions, the better you can:

  What is your system brand and model?

  If you have a Dell computer, what is the Service tag?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE), McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, avast! Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, Comodo, PC Tools, etc.

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

  You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  If you get an error message, what he said (exactly)?

  What do you see (exactly) that you don't think you should see, and when you see it?

  What do not you think that you should see?

  Do you mean that your system does not any sound at all or do you mean that no longer see the volume control icon in the Notification area (to the left of the clock in the taskbar system)?

  Click Start, run and enter in the box:

  Msinfo32

  Click OK, and when the system info summary appears, click on edit, select all (Ctrl-A), copy (Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) the information back here in your next reply.

  For information about the audio drivers, expand components, click Sound Device, click on edit, select all, copy and then paste the information here.

  There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and anything that turns information private for you, simply delete the pasted information.

  If you look in Control Panel under sounds and Audio devices and uncheck/check the volume icon to Place in the taskbar and click on apply, you see a message like this:

• infected file ndis.sys deleted by AV. system cannot start in normal mode

  Recently has been infected by the worm. I cleaned my system using AVAST! 5 using startup scan. After the cleaning, some system files have been marked as being infected and I sent them in quarantine. NDIS.sys was also one of the files including kernel.dll and the other two dll files I could not remember the exact names. Shortly after my system can start is no longer in normal mode. What should I do next from here? Should I try and replace the files quarantined or should I just reinstall my OS? Or there are other options I can try? My OS is XP Pro SP3.

  Hello

  Good luck which is malware then please do a thorough check. Following message will show how to remove
  It's like a startup message.

  If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
  scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
  resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
  cause.

  No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often
  easy to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the
  payload. So its best to be now too thorough than paying the high price later. Check
  with an extreme overdose point and then run the cleaning only when you are very
  that the system is clean.

  It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap you start, however, you should
  also run in regular Windows when you can.

• Question related to opening an infected file

  Hi, my friend sent me a few photos in a .zip file and when I downloaded the file and tried to open it, my anti virus showed me several treats and that the file has been infected by a virus. I did a scan on the file and that he obtained the files, I can open the file now or if she is still infected? I'm afraid that if I open it, my computer will be infected.

  Anti-virus did exactly what it should. It has detected, isolated and fixed / remove problem files, this is the main purpose of an AV application

  If you feel that you do not trust the program enough to really do its job so is there much point in having? Of course your 'friend' must unravel his system, but if these pictures are important, then you will need to take a position on safe are now the VA has cleaned up the.

  You can try a new analysis with another AV, Microsoft Safety Scanner if you use MSE or Sophos if you are
