  1. Sorry, one last thing that I forgot to ask in my last message, the only thing on the PC that I need to salvage is several hundreds of digital camera photos that are stored under adobe and Kodak easyshare. My worry is, if I copy these onto a cd ready to be transfered back after reformat and reinstallation, is there any chance that these could be carrying any malware/viruses as I dont want to reinfect the clean PC. Stuart.
  2. Hi, thank you for getting back to me. I think you have just confirmed what I had suspected, that a reformat would be the only safe thing to do. I managed to copy a trial version of Spyware Doctor onto the infected PC and it detected multiple cases of ramnit which I understand is a severe virus. I have a Compaq Presario PC and if my understanding is correct, if I use the HP Destructive Recovery that comes pre installed on the PC then it will format the hard drive and re-install Windows XP that came pre-installed on my PC and put everything back to factory setings. No recovery discs/cd's were provided. Can you confirm that this is the correct action to take for a reformat and reinstall. Thanks, Stuart.
  3. I am at my wits end with this virus and I could really do with some help. Just over 24 hours ago my AVG Resident Shield Alert detected multiple cases of Win32/Zbot.g and VBS/Generic. I clicked on Remove selected as advised by AVG but the same viruses just keep on coming. As soon as I switch my computer on I have hundreds of cases of Win32/Zbot.g and VBS/Generic appear and be detected in AVG Resident Shield and I can't keep removing them as it is endless. I have run Mbam and no infections were found but AVG Resident shield keeps on detecting them. I cannot open AVG to run the virus software as I get an error message and I cannot connect to the internet as this doesnt work either. I'm having to use a laptop and copy files from one to the other. Is it ok to copy to cd and then copy that to the infected PC as I do not have a USB stick. I'm not really sure what to do next and could really use some advice.
