urgent help!! virus or what??

^ Sality is the most dangerous virus i came across.. dude, say bye bye to your .exe files if infected..

i tried almost all AV out there only Norton 2010 was able to clean the same virus.. follow steps that i specify in the earlier post.. good luck

Combofix fixed his PC. Was Norton 2010 able to clean everything without damaging software and other dump files? I hate that virus like plague.

^ Yes it was able to clean without any damage. I had big hope on McAfee,though it manage to clean an infected .exe but the file was damaged.. Only Norton was able to clean & without damage..

I'm trying Norton only when other AV's fail to clean...I'm quite happy with KIS 2010..

so the problem has been solved
it was a sality virus , it took away all the executalble file .exe files with it
nod32 deleted all files automatically, there was no choice

so damge control

will have to d/l 1 gigs of softwares bus thats it
computer is fine n running again

combofix did the trick!!

the eset nod32 i was using wa not updated i guess that led to all this

i have seen a virus first time in my pc and was shocked to see how each of the files were deleted in front of my eyes one by one automatically

Data is never safe

^ Shocking it truly is ...... but at least it spared the iso's and the avi's right ?

yes it spared the iso and .avi files- that was the major part of my HDD
