This is all correct and true for the most part and some kernel mode rootkits that run in the OS kernel are hard to impossible to remove without re-installing windows. What can be done about this? An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. 1. Sandboxie or use some sort of virtualiztation mechanism. Anti-Virus is a joke. You give me prevention and a smart user vs the best malware scanner and I'll take the smart user. 2. Never click executable code/files unless you know what they are.
Office? They already loose to Libre Office except special areas.
They loose at OS area cause the money/result ratio from their OS sucks ass.
They loose gaming area cause of valve, desura, ps3, nintendo. They failed to monopolize the system with their direct sucks. Did you know they also sabotaged opengl 3 when they were in kronos group?
..on mobile, they ate nokia and got bad karma
Oh,.. yeah, they did produce a single invention themself though - kinect.
@stinkyglove LOL. Good analogy, IMO. The Windows addict is like "This is GREAT! I Feel WONDERFUL downloading everything I stumble upon, it all WORKS for my Windows!... Hmmm maybe I did too much...I'm not feeling so good anymore...."
Hah, had exact problem. I had spend 99% time with my friends pc helping removing malware. I didnt do it for money though. So yes, moved to linux and install it everywhere where it fits and now no malware problems AND no antivirus subscriptions.
I see you use linux to fix windows, heh this isnt something new =))
You guy know if its XMAS ? Because i think i just did called santas claus but he got a brown hair instead of white hair.... LOL. Well that my joke of the day. Avast! and Malwarebytes is what i recommand if you are infected. Go ahead install them but remember to also have a 2 Ways Firewall and never 2 anti virus or firewall.
I got sick of malware and antimalware and the endless battle of having the PC in good state so I moved to linux. I am really happy I did so because today linux is easy to use and safe.
guys i heard about a new insane virus/porgram called phiske or something like that. it hacks your pc shuts it down and then the guy got free space to hack your stuff and take your irl money... is it true? o.o
thx man,, last 4months a hacker hack my computer and that shit put me a malware and he says i need to buy some his fake product anti malware fake product and he change my background thats why i reformat my computer,,,, how about you man where did you get your malware?
some malware are pretty 1337. but if it is kamsoft.exe (roof of antivirus 2009) you are only to change a new computer if you are infected, all your hardware bios will be locked and dmi will be currupted, not to mention your hard drive and files on it...the destruction will be unable to recover. i just chaged my hdd earlier but seems like it is coming back.
the bad command code can be hide anywhere even graphic card bios and ram. even processor.
what kind of heartless bastard spends there day making viruses? if I ever find one, I will kick them in the nuts so hard there children will be spaded.
My Ad-Aware today found malware on a full scan and deleted it! It told me to restart so I did. When I left, my sister said that a blue screen popped up for 2 seconds saying "Processing..." then "Deleting C://Windows...." My sister couldn't read the rest. Is the cpu at risk???
and through the years i have discovered things through mistakes that i now have learned well from... i chage 30 quid for a complete for at and backup and a shit load of top software. choose formatting!!!! its worth while u gain more knowledge
This info s useful but if who-ever you are in posession of a external hared drive then simply keep ur hard drive folders strictyl categorized and then regularly drag these folders to ur back up drive.
then just format your pc and install windows back on. its worth doin this as if you master this you can get yourself some well earnd cash as i have done. i know what i know tgrough what my dad calls ''happy clicking''
hahahahaha i must e install widows on my computer like ever 3 mounths thats y i have a hard drive just for my OS and a ghost of my basic computer progarmsand OS HAHAHAha .....
your vid is very informative and very helpful. Is this rootkit removal as well? also do you know anything of shel infection/injection (If thats the right word). i have also heard of Pairing, where a file will be executed due to its name being the same as another file with a diferent suffix. not to mention stream infection (i believe this to be an infection that is resistant to formating due to the stream system in NTFS). it would deal with most of these with the post scan i realise.
the reason that made linux look safer is because it doesn't support a lot of software and codec. and not many people use as well that which made those hacker or malware company think it is waste of time to do it. like no one wanna hack and hijack cellphone and game console. because that doesn't really worth to do it. windows and pc in the other hand had really long history and amount of population which having huge benefit to explore. linux will be the same once if it gets popular.
hey thnx fo the reply hehe btw im only 14 so thnx alot i dont no but my local disk d is bak and i cant delete the corrupted folders and the folders jux have games and downloading programs so i can format it but the formating screen wont comeup
thnx thnx alot if u can help and those guys r rude about ur beard
If you can't get windows to format the drive, and it has sometimes has not even appeared in windows, it seems highly likely that the drive is dying. I'd download some drive testing tools and test the drive.
uhhh hey hi i no u mite be busy but how do i get my d drive back i tried everythin on google and no results and idk wat happened to it becuz wen i turn my pc on i looked in my computer then my d drive was gone haha thnx if u can help thnx u very much
Well, you didn't exactly give me a lot to go on, but assuming your d drive was a second physical HDD or CD-ROM, if it disappeared from Windows it probably failed and would need to be replaced. If you know how to check your BIOS settings to see if BIOS still sees it, that's what I'd check first. If BIOS can't see the HDD, it's one of these possibilities:
Hey can u help me?? i got a malware that changes my wallpaper to some thing that says u need to download a antivirus porgram! and then it get rids of the desktop tab in the properties window!!! and wheni delete it from the local settings>>temp>> folder it comes back when i start internet!!! plss help me get rid of it!! it also re directs ALL!!! my internet sites!! like i clikc a site and it goes some where else!!! pls help :((
That sounds like one of the variants of "WinFixer" that this technique I describe here is intended to stop. Of course, you've figured out that the warnings are fakes, in that the malware it detects is only itself. If you don't understand my technique described here, or one of a small number of similar tactics, you're stuck re-installing windows or taking it to a professional. I can't clean your machine from over the net. However, if you understand this process, and want to try it... (continued)
(continued) ... I'll do what I can to help by answering questions. Especially on the step where you are making a list of malware files you want to delete.
It takes me about 20 minutes to kill that class of infections using this technique, but you should expect to spend several hours at least googling file names trying to decide if they are malware or not.
Good luck. If you manage to kill that infection without a reinstall, you'll deserve quite the geek kudos. But, no guts no glory, eh?
if you follow the video you should be OK. But that is a nasty piece of greyware you got there. my advice would be try the video and possibly seek professional help, either renegade4dio, or alike (paid perhaps)
1.Don't use Internet Explorer the activex in internet explorer is just so powerful if malware or adware gets in it its catastrophic i would do this but i dont have/use Windows for reasons just like this
it is disabled through the settings in IE (Internet explorer) on tools, within 1 tab of the tabs. if you are a weary user choose disable or for the more experienced choose Prompt. they are radio buttons ie you can only select one option of many for that one setting.
As a malware developer id say you realise what you're actually saying. But you're refering to rootkits. Only a format would possibly get rid of it, anything that hooks kernel is a format in my opinion. There is alot of ANTI-ROOTKIT's. That are useless unless you're dealing with a script kiddie.
I was hoping for more technical comments or questions, but I'll give a shot at helping you. First off, as I tried to make clear, this technique is for people who already could do it, they just hadn't thought of it. This is hunting rabbits with rockets. If you aren't damn good with a rocket, don't use it to hunt rabbits.
Now for your question:
Just rebooting generally does nothing. The idea here is to boot into a "LIVE CD" and use this to evade the file-locking that prevents deleting the virus.
I need to do more than comb it, I tried hard to get it to behave for this shoot. What it needs a serious trim, but I'm in the process of moving and I can't seem to find my clippers. I do plan to remake this after I take into consideration whatever constructive comments I get. Hopefully by then I find it and get myself a little more presentable. ;)
