[H] Free tools to remove viruses...
Hey, In about an hour or so, I have to go to a friend's house to remove what I think is Conficker. What are some of the online tools that can remove that and other things if that is not what it is? She cannot get to the internet, so I have to carry whatever I'll use. Thanks, Bobby
Re: [H] Free tools to remove viruses...
Look for the stinger stuff from mcafee and if you look for a conficker remover you may find a remover for it. --Original Message-- From: Bobby Heid Sender: hardware-boun...@hardwaregroup.com To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com ReplyTo: hardware@hardwaregroup.com Subject: [H] Free tools to remove viruses...

ClamAV, Avira and a couple others can run off a USB stick that you update prior to taking it with you. SpyBot can also be run from USB stick. Check portable apps site. I usually try to take as many varied tools just in case. lopaka --- On Fri, 7/17/09, Bobby Heid wrote: From: Bobby Heid Subject: [H] Free tools to remove viruses...

Re: [H] Free tools to remove viruses...

Re: [H] Free tools to remove viruses...
I just talked to her. It appears that she cannot even get to the internet for any site or with ping. Could this be one of those things where you have to reset the IP stack (or something like that)? If so, how do I do that? Anyone have any links?

combofix always works for me when everything else fails, even extreme cases. always run everything else usually first, spybot etc. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix fp At 02:36 PM 7/17/2009, Bobby Heid Poked the stick with: >I just talked to her.

Re: [H] Free tools to remove viruses...
I'll keep that in mind for next time. I get over to their house. I first run Stinger, it finds about 7 trojans and a worm. I then run the MS Malicious Software tool. It found 13 things - trojans, downloaders, and worms. At this point (4 hours later), I suggested a nuke and pave. They agreed. Thanks for all of your suggestions.

fdisk is always a good fix, sometimes only way to guarantee fixed.

Re: [H] Free tools to remove viruses...
Yeah, if it had been my system, I'd have spent more time on it. Their system was painfully slow and I knew it'd take forever to clean up.

LOL. These are the type people who want to know nothing of what you do, just fix it. The wife says it was the husband's brother that caused all of this after he played on the pc all afternoon.
