While extracting questionable software in zipped files from the Usenet, I just had this virus infect my Windows-based computer. It brought Trend Micro Antivirus and Webroot Spy Sweeper to their knees. Then, I installed Zone Alarm Internet Security Suite, and it couldn’t detect it, even though it eventually got to where it denied me access to my own computer.
Just a warning, if you’re going to stray from the mainstream sites, be sure to back up your system beforehand!!
Jeff, sadly, you are Not the only one! AVG missed it, TrendMicro found it, 1313 instances actually; but, for whatever reason, could not heal 580 of those. In fact, the Dell is still down, unable to log in to Windows.
It’s down, but not out, though. 3 days of hair-pulling futzing around in Safe Mode, Debugging Mode & Rescue Disc-ing for a repair, it’s been. However, I am an Ubuntu believer now! I’m not a techy-type, so forgive me in thinking it is Magic, but with an Ubuntu live cd to boot up with, I am now able to burn off all the pictures & sentimental things I refused to lose with complete reformatting right off the bat.
If I could just figure out all that I want to save…… lol
