Just got a virus called Win32/Virut which AVG caught as it was coming in to
the computer: However, somehow it did manage to infect almost every exe file
in the system32 directory and lots of files in the ntuninstal directories,
all of which were caught and dealt with by AVG as they happened.
After that I ran AVG again a few times and now seem to have cleaned
everything up
However, I kinda need those exe files for all sorts of purposes
Tried to run SFC and discovered that even this application was infected, the
exe file corrupted and placed in the Virus Vault.
Does anyone know how to run SFC 'scannow from the install CD or from
UBCD4WIN please? Is there some special command line syntax I can use to
replace all those files? I cannot even run sysinfo at the moment although
the OS does seem to be OK. I don't however dare to shut down the computer
in case it wont open up again!
Should I run autopatcher on this computer after this virus to reinstall the
patches with the cleaned up ntuninstall directories where I suspect SFC gets
its updated files?
