| 1219838 | 2011-07-29 05:11:00 | Ki Ora :) OK a ISO is a disc image, or an exact copy of the contents of a CD,all packaged into one bundle. Its similar to burning data, but slightly different, meaning when you're using ISO burning software it "unpacks", or lays down the contents onto the CD, so its exactly how it was originally produced. "Most" writing software has an ISO option - BUT some software don't make it to easy to use. Full Instructions :) You can do this on a clean computer: Stand alone ISO burners -- One I suggest is this one > Infrarecorder (infrarecorder.org) install it, then after download the ISO file, with a blank CD in the Drive open infrarerecorder - select Write Image as shown here (www.imagef1.net.nz) - a window will open,navigate to the location you downloaded / Saved the ISO file, Select it, click OK and it will burn the file - then once finished, put the CD in the infected Computer, make sure the first boot device is the optical drive (You may need to go into the BIOS to alter that if it doesn't do it automatically) watch the screen near the bottom, look for the press any key to Boot from CD - hit any key, WinPE will run, You may get a command box, touch nothing then Nod32 will load, On the left, click Computer Scan - Custom Scan then you select Operating Memory & your drive ( C) See Picture Here (www.imagef1.net.nz) Click on Setup, options, put ticks in all boxes, then under cleaning, move slider to strict ( now it will really scan deeply) By default, it should be In-depth Scan in the profile option ( top left in that picture. Click Save, then Scan |

| 1219839 | 2011-07-29 05:16:00 | As it is more likely to be a trojan than a virus why not run Malwarebytes from a flash drive. You could do the same with Combofix as well. |

| 1219840 | 2011-07-29 05:39:00 | Depending on what the infections are, you may need to run several cleaners, NO one piece of software will get them all. Malwarebytes is OK, but it still misses a lot of infections. Its not uncommon to run Malware bytes remove some, then Spybot & Super antispyware, and remove infection Malware bytes missed. |

Yeah but the same applies to Nod32 which is why I suggested some other easier things to run . |

| 1219842 | 2011-07-29 06:57:00 | For future you can download MSSE, install and get the offline update packages. (answers.microsoft.com) Could be good to provide protection, give them the update every few months |

| 1219843 | 2011-07-29 07:52:00 | Thanks all. I will give this a go early next week and get back to you all. I greatly appreciate the time you have taken to assist a computer illiterate... have a good weekend.. | Aporosa (5671) | ||
| 1219844 | 2011-07-29 08:12:00 | Yeah but the same applies to Nod32 which is why I suggested some other easier things to run . I was simply stating that malware bytes is not as good as a lot of people think it is . Last one I used it on, Malware bytes was run and then Spybot found and removed a further 178 infections . Depending on the infections, even attaching a USB drive can and will completely make it useless . I had one like that a few weeks back, as soon as the USB drive was plugged in, the infections attacked the drive, wiping out all the antimalware programs on it . The only way to even start cleaning the computer was to boot from a bootable CD and remove the main ones first . Edited: Using combofix in the wrong hands is also dangerous . Sometimes it can and does make a PC unbootable after its run, ( had it happen a few times) its not a general removal program for people who need instructions, simply because if it screws a PC the person wont have a clue how to fix it again . Its a little like the MS suggestion if a XP PC wont boot, -- boot from XP CD, press R to fix the computer -- OK they get the recovery console -Now what the hell do I do is the general question :) |

| 1219845 | 2011-07-29 08:54:00 | What does it matter if the infection make the flash drive useless, it is worth trying Malwarebytes and MSSE or anything else before going to all the trouble of making a bootable CD. There is no guarantee that Nod32 will pick up everything either. You do the easy things first and then progress from there not the other way around. Combofix is a great tool and will pick up infections that nothing else will, and in my opinion to say it is dangerous is a bit of an over reaction. Most times it will do the job without any problems at all but like anything else such as Spybot problems can arise if there is a complication of some sort. |
