I have seen many computer infected by this virus
virus symtoms-
1)folder options disappers
2)regedit & mmc & gpedit all are disabled.
3)computer restarts again and again.
even anti virus is disabled...

even when computer is formatted c drive the virus remains...

whats is the solution ..its problem all around here.....
we have tried every possible AV but once infected by virus it seems un curable but i have found that if AV is updated the virus is unable to get in.

any solution to get rid of it.

thanks

Hi saharika....the computer is curable u dont have to format c drive!! Well boot viruses are extreme cases.
One simpe solution is just to connect the infected PC to another that has updated antivirus like kaspersky and then share the C drive of infected PC!! Run the antivirus on the shared C drive then.
Well the other solution is to install a linux distro on another drive and incase of infection back all the documents on linux drive. This i have done numerous times!

Neways if ur on windows...nothing is predicted as to when ur PC can show BSOD or virus infection. But u can always use system restore service!

best is to get linux

Have you tried booting in safe mode and running Antivirus, Antispyware scans with latest updated definition files?

If your PC is infected with a boot-sector virus. Use Seagate's DiskWizard Starter
Edition , that can perform a low-level format and destroy the virus & MBR!!
Try it and see it for yourself.
