my advice would be to try a format, THEN reflash your bios. if the little bastard did get into your bios that should fix it.

Well, seeing as I formatted your progam may work now. Only one way to find out.

Give it a go, & let me know here or in PM, one way or another, because this perplexed the HECK outta me that only YOU of 1,000's of users of it since 1997 have problems... even VISTA users, they work, now that I 'patched' its configuration!

APK

P.S.=> Apply the .reg file in the program's zipfile distro, FIRST, prior to running it (IF you still use VISTA that is) & then right-click on it, use the "Run As Administrator" first time you run it... after that? You can run it normally via desktop double-click on shortcut... thanks for the test! apk

he says a format won't fix it. I reckon he's lying. Don't you?

If it's in the boot sector then a normal reformat wont get rid of it, you'll then have to fdisk MBR.

I put it on the last page, I THINK (I mean I think it applies to what he's asking, rather)...

:)

I.E.-> Zero'ing out the HDD securely probably... 3x 0-1-0 iirc, is the gov't std. for a secure wipe, but it may have gone up now (I am fairly certain it has, but if not? Oh well...)

E.G.-> See, I did some 'forensics' work in my day, & 2-3 years ago, specifically on this note, for a LARGE financial firm (one of the planet's largest & for 800 rigs on lease)... I used a tool called "Acronis Disk Cleanser" in 4x pass max config wipe mode to do so. It by FAR surpasses the std. D.O.D. requirement, & this method even defaults the fabled ENCASE program, for data recovery via directory reconstruction file table work.

Software A lot.
Benchmark Scores Its fast. Enough.
Boot to Debian and wipe your MBR. Use your XP disk to recreate your MBR.
Boot to Lycoris live or Knoppix, mount the volume, give yourself write permissions, and delete it. The virus that is.


If you believe it has compromised your BIOS use a winflash utility to perform a checksum, or boot to a unwriteable floppy and BIOS flash program.

And DO make sure he hasn't got it anymore :p

I'm skeptical as to how someone with the mental ability of an 11 year old can get it to stay in the gfx card memory, and if so, it's flash time! :D

Or just use the F-Disk MBR dos command, and then create a new MBR using the XP disk :).

But most viruses like this are hidden in the MBR.
