computer, infected, virus, worst The worst computer virus u got infected with...??

[hitman]

that was way before win xp^^ long long time ago

[v6ph1]

The first worst was an accidently self-codet one:
A tool which schould delete a subdirectory of C:\Windows on WinME.
Without system file protection I had to reinstall windows.

Then some trojans - the last one was really tricky:
It deactivates the UAC of Vista and disallow the starting of and checking with antivir.
After I removed the files with an other PC and reactivated the UAC, the trojan was blocked by it. So one short scan with antivir removed this completely from my hdd.

best regards

I have one virus in my life...

I can't open any "EXE", I can just select "Open With...".

I have format my HDD...

This tool could have helped:

http://www.nod32.it/cgi-bin/mapdl.pl?tool=FixExe

It fixes the EXE association.

I had an unknown virus. It was similar to w32.beagle but had some more "features"
Files were named: wintems.exe, hldrrr.exe, srosa.sys .

-It installed 2 hidden system drivers (files you could only see and delete with NTFS4DOS)
-It had a list of known security software processes to disable (VERY complete)
-It runned a program to call different websites and download more viruses.
-Whatever you deleted, resurrected from nowhere after reboot (with no dllcache and restore point enabled)

I tried a million AV and rootkit programs and couldn't get any of them to even show an alert. I followed dozens of forum discussions on how to remove it. Nothing will kill the bastard.
After a week of frustration and switching drives and stuff I finally booted up NTFS4DOS and replaced all those files with txt files renamed to the same name.
Windows booted up and the files were visible. I deleted them and got rid of it.
Sounds easy, but google it and you will see it's not.

This year i got a crap virus through emule called Bagle. A new version that could not be removed with the normal tools available :X It was the hardest bitch i ever killed... Could not be seen in taskmanager or explorer, prevent the see hidden files and starting security mode, antvirus, etc. It loaded multiple files with random names on start. Had to overload CPU on restart so i could kill all its copies before they could be loaded, then kill files in win/system32 with a tool called gmer. Virus total only reported suspicious, i was lucky vista prevented it from running on my other pcs :p

Hmm..I am Very Experienced With viruses guys. wekll I Share Al my Stuff with my friends Via USB drives ,most of my Frnds PC have Viruses ..Silly some of Them Even Dont care About It......
plus i had to take my projects to M college and My college PCs are full of Viruses , trojans & malwares. & i cant help.

first was 'funny.avi' and second was 'kido'.

i was Earlier infected by first one ...really very bad Virus creates an .EXe file in every Folder with the name of Folder itself.

Vundo virus is a categoric Collection of Many Viruses I think.....It,s a Coomon one...

I had a virus that erased my whole C drive

too bad Buddy...but isnt C the Local Drive in Most cases ?

I once plugged a flashdrive while my antivirus was disabled, and it was infected with one of those flash viruses... had to delete almost every EXE on my four drives and reinstall Windows

well Reinstalling Windows is a Very common for me these Days..........

Virut. The one that infects all .exe Files.
I just completely erased the Harddisc and made a fresh intall.

I Was Also Infected by it..It Severely corrupts All SYSTEM files , leaving no option rather than Reinstalling ur OS.....As Antivirus will Also delete those System files & malfunctioning Ur PC working..

Reader_s.exe' virus! ....Unlimited headache!!
even when you format the all hard-disks it still comes from hell.

Well i got Rid of it Finally Without Reformatiing my Hard-Drive...using UNHACKME ...d Best app for detecting These kinds.

i was attacked by a well programmed virus..

it changed my DOC,XLS,TXT to EXE's full of viruses,
not only that it encrypted my EXE files and replaced the originals with itself!!!

Luckily I Have Never Been affected by that kind of Virus.....

Then some trojans - the last one was really tricky:
It deactivates the UAC of Vista and disallow the starting of and checking with antivir.
After I removed the files with an other PC and reactivated the UAC, the trojan was blocked by it. So one short scan with antivir removed this completely from my hdd.

Lol , i Also have had Similar kind of Xperiences.


Conclusion : well all Viruses came due to my carelessness of not installing a Security Software in My PC as these kinds of Apps really Suck up your System resources makig it go Slow.
So i never liked Them , But now I Have Some Apps on PC that Are Really Effective , i Would like to Share..
1.) Kaspersky Internet Security __Heavy on Resources sometimes But very Effective Protection ,Daily Updates .Welll its only Useful If u have a LEgal Key as they Blacklist u & ur Key.

2.) Malwarebytes Anti-Malware __Highly Recommended .well its small Size & Awesome protection are World Class. I Have this App as my first Prefernce Now. Must Must Install if u wanna Live Safely ...Realy fast .

3.) Unhackme __Ultimate App. with this u can Almost detect Every virus & Rootkits , plus it has some other very Good tools. its DEEP SCAN Feature is its main Strength for Detecting Everything.
with first Two Apps Installed on Ur PC & even with only 2nd one Runnig in BackGround u r Fully Secure .

Another app USB Disk Drive Security detects all USB Drives Automatically when inseted for known Infections ...Another recommendation..

Creating a folder called autorun.inf is also a good idea to prevent them from copying.

[Dark Knight]

@ Anon ...this Software Does it Automatically U just need To Click " PROTECT USB Drives"

And its Done ...AutoRUn is Disabled
also u can Edit ur Registry or Even change Group Policies ..Both Worked fine for Me.....

[anon]

I know, but a folder (not file) called autorun.inf will prevent most flashdrive viruses from making themselves the default action when opening the flashdrive from "My Computer" - can be a lifesaver.

[Dark Knight]

Yup that What i Am talking about Buddy , a folder named "autorun.inf"

[anon]

Ah, so you mean the program you mentioned creates this folder? That's good.

Had couple of viruses,trojans & spywares that drove me crazy,but the last one was kinda a$$ kicker,I just couldn't open my Process Manager nor Shut down my PC normally,I had to plug it off.

I also had once the USB virus but I learned how to remove it safely without damaging or deleting any precious data.

[anon]

A nice trick is to open the Task Manager on a hex-editor, look for the registry value that prevents it from running (DisableTaskMgr), and fill it with 00s. Save the file, and you have a Task Manager that can't be disabled via registry. Using APT is also a good idea.

Also, perhaps you know COM executables take precendence over EXEs. If you get "xxxx isn't a valid Win32 app", enable showing hidden files, go to system32, look for 0-byte .coms called "regedit", "cmd", etc., and delete them.

Flash Disinfector is a really handy tool when dealing with flashdrive viruses.
