annoying virus · DIGIT-ARC

The system running win 2003 server is affected by W32RONTOKBRO@MM,
especially one shared folder is affected by the virus and the symantec av installed ,gives so many virus detection notification that it is hard to work
i have tried following av
norton
avg pro version
nod 32
but none of them is able to delete ,clear it
even avg was unable to detect any virus...
other could not clear
so how can i get rid of it
i am trying kastersky now
any av that can cure it

am very much sure that Kaspersky wud give you positive results... make sure you are running ur system in safe mode while running the FULL system scan....and most importnantly b sure to have the kaspersky antivirus data updated....

Do you know the name of the offending files? The simplest solution that comes to mind is booting a Knoppix/DSL/Whatever Linux live CD and deleting the files from there.

Scan Type :Auto Protect SCAN
Event THREAT FOUND
Threat W32.Rontokbro@mm
File H:\sodtware\20....

kaspersky says it does not support this os
OS being used is wondows 2000 server

what can i do
i have tried many av but none are working

where is kaspersky win 2000 server version

If these antiviruses are not able to remove the virus, there is nothing much that
can be done in Windows. You install Mandriva Linux (keep the Windows partition
intact) 9.1 or higher. You can access your C drive in Konqueror (similar to Explorer)
by giving the path '/mnt/win_c' , and similarly for other partitions. Now delete the
Windows files like thumbs.db, and other compressed files from the partition where
you want to take backup in a CD/DVD. Why because the virus will be hiding inside
a compressed file and if you take a backup of it, your System will be infected
again!! Now use CD burning software like XCDRoast or Nero (www.nero.com).
take a backup of the files in a CD(s). Yes Nero trial version is available for Linux.
After taking all the necessary backup and checking the CDs , delete all the
partitions. Now install Windows. Now your System should be clean.
