My PC is SHIT after a virus...

[Tweezy]

Try doing a system restore instead of reloadin eveythin from a partition, if that doesn't work I can only think of a complete wipe

I've already restored it through partition, my restore was royally fucked up and wouldn't run. (That or my usual 10 minute restores suddenly turned into a several hour restoration)

 

What's wrong with partition restoration?

 

edit: I have a restoration to 2008 and 2009, not sure if that really means that much.

 

Though, I'd prefer not going back- after the partition I somehow gained devices that I didn't have the first time. (Stereo mix, other shit).

Do you have a antivirus? Can you download one?

Yes, I'm currently scanning with windows defender and spybot search and destroy.

 

Edit: I did some googling and some shit about PIO and UDMA came up, and I eventually find the driver and it's listing... could this be the issue?

If you haven't made any hardware changes to your PC then all the drivers should have been automatically loaded.

 

Try downloading Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware

It will sniff out anything for free (won't remove it)

 

If nothing shows up that means you just need to update your drivers I suspect.

what the fuck are you talking about pot? malwarebytes will remove it all, entirely free. all you get if you pay is a kernel level active scan, and this new "flash scan" they added in the most recent version.

 

I wouldn't recommend it so vehemently if it didn't remove it all. I use it every day at work. Idk what i'd do without it.

I just checked windows updater and I have a shitload of updates. I'll try that first, I saw NVIDIA and a bunch of other drivers in optional.

Hmm the version I have doesn't do jackshit, maybe its just old.

Copying things to a new hard drive can also be a risk because those files may be affected. My friend got a virus and it attacked all his hard drives and partitions. He had to wipe everything because it was all infected. This virus even deleted his AV and all the windows things to block it. The only program working was ventrillo.

 

that's why you should only do single files, as in single pictures, word docs., and stuff. when you go on your computer make sure your internet is off when you run a virus scan too so the virus can't connect to the internet which is how most of them work. if you have your internet plugged in the virus can just keep connecting with other infected computers/other infected computers in the network. i meant a hard-drive that wasn't in your computer btw, so it shouldnt be affected... hopefully lol

i suggest you go grab macafee stinger. google that name and you will find it, its is a stand alone virus scanner that isn't installed or otherwise requires your system to run anything to use it. run in safe mode for best chances of removing or detecting things that like to hide or load and hook into active processes. while macafee's regular run all the time AV may be utter crap, stinger is one of the best network tools to deploy for virus/trojan/rootkit cleaning.

 

they also have a version that detects and removes fake AV, though if it covers your version IDK read their site.
