Win32 Removal - How to get rid of Win32 Virus
I recently got attacked by the Win32 Virus and after doing lots of work and research on the web I’ve found this to be a common problem. I DID finally get rid of it but I want to give back to the Win32 Virus Removal community that helped me out by creating this blog.
This blog will be solely dedicated to the Win32 Virus Removal!
I’ve done enough research to know that now every solution works for everyone. I will detail my solution here but will do regular research to find out what is working for other people. If you have a solution that works for you please feel free to comment!!
Try worked for me:
in the Start/run… type in the command SFC/Scannow. This command will check all your system files and replace or fix any that have been corrupted or changed. (Make sure you have a copy of your OS handy, will ask for the CD). The New Win32 virus attaches itself to the winlogon.exe file, which is a system file and therefore cannot be deleted or quarantined. The SFC/scannow command fixes this corrupt file and any others that might have been corrupted and now you are able to scan your pc.
Next, I went to the McAfee website and downloaded the latest bootscan.exe file to do a Bootscan virus check in safe mode and I also did a virus scan in DOS mode with McAfee’s latest Superdat file.
Make sure you disable your system restore first!

Try and protect your computer.
If you are like me then you have probably tired many different types of scans to try and protect your computer. There are many different options available but I have found that most of them pick up the same bugs whether you pay for the scan or download a free version. Search-and-destroy Antispyware (http://www.Search-and-destroy.com/antispyware.html) is one of the best that I have found so far and it cost less than many of the other well-known scans on the market today. If you are searching for a good scan I suggest that you check out the antispyware solution from Search-and-destroy.
