361386 2005-06-06 16:14:00 Looks like a bios reflash problem .

There are a few newer (from Russia, Romania, Bulgaria etc) viruses and trojans that are really hard to remove and in fact will destroy your puter just for fun .

And it looks like you got one!

Here's what happens: It writes itself into the bios as a very small program, usually under 1kb . It will be noticed in your ram too, as 1kb missing . It will surface at every boot-up, and write itself to the ram and set aside a very small hidden partition on the hd too .

So, what to do?

You have to reflash the bios and dump everything you have . I had to replace 4/200 gig hd's and reflash my bios to get rid of a variant of one of these not too long ago . I had the W95 . CIH . damaged virus, and it is from the nice place of China .

What you have is a variant on one of these, and the scariest part, is that they have a payload date! On one day (established by the virus writer) it will tear up everything you have in the tower . This means hard drives, motherboard and ram sticks too .

Setting the clock/date back to an earlier date will NOT work!

Everything that has a chip in/on it is suspect, as we don't know how sophisticated these viruses are getting now . If it can hold memory, it is suspect . . . remove it! or flash it! :eek:

Sorry for the wonderful news . Warez files are dangerous, as are most game sites and P2P clients .

Then you need to install some Antivirus protection
As far as I'm aware every Antivirus proggy out there will take care of this
This virus is so old, no-one should still be getting caught with it
And I think it originated in Taiwan

361390 2005-06-07 01:45:00 Yup! The old Chernobyl was from Taiwan, and was made by the same guy . The CIH is his initials according to McAfee, and he is still in the wild with new versions of that old-timer . It was and still is very "out there" and will get to people yet .

The varieties of Chernobyl were those that payloaded on the anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster, and others that payload on any 25th of any month . Mr . C . I . H . is still out there, honing his skills, and who knows if he's selling ideas to the Bulgarians too .

It's a shame that people are getting hit by it again and again . My McAfee and Spybot all jumped up when it happened and told me I had it, it was installed and it was not repairable . That was last April . I do not let my updates get old or out of date . But I got it anyway!
