Badly Infected

[oldman960]

Hi e28ct17,

Ok there is a couple of things I'd like you to do.

Please make this screenshot:

Click Start > Control Panel > System and Security > Adminstrator Tools > Computer Mangement

• When Computer Management opens double click on disk management
• make sure the pane is expanded wide enough to show all partitions
• Take a screenshot by pressing the alt and print screen keys at the same time
• open an editor such as Paint
• right click in the white panel and click paste
• save the image as a .jpg or .png
• attach it to your next reply

We'll use a CD that we will make bootable. We also need a USB flashdrive that has some space on it. We will not be changing any of the data on the usb device just using it for a file.

You will also need to use FireFox to download a file as Internet Explorer seems to mangle the download.

If you have an problems with these steps please let me know. These may look complicated but it's fairly straight forward and for the most part automated.

On your working computer

Download GETxPUD.exe to the desktop of your clean computer

• Run GETxPUD.exe by double clicking it. (right click and run as adminstrator if you are using Vista or Win7)
• A new folder will appear on the desktop.
• Open the GETxPUD folder and click on the get&burn.bat
• The program will download xpud_0.9.2.iso, and when finished, it will open BurnCDCC which will be ready to burn the image.
• Click on Start and follow the prompts to burn the image to a CD

Using FireFox, please download and save dumpit to your usb device.

You may want to print out this part as you will not be able to view these instructions.

• Attach the usb device to the sick computer
• Boot the infected computer with the CD you just burned
  • with the CD in the computer, restart the computer
• The computer must be set to boot from the CD,depending on your computer you can either do this by pressing F12 and selecting the CD as the first boot option or it can be set in the BIOS
• Once you have the computer set to boot from the CD allow it to boot
• A Welcome to xPUD screen will appear
• Click on File
• Expand mnt
• sda1,2...usually corresponds to your HDD
• sdb1 is likely your USB
• Click on the folder that represents your USB drive (sdb1 ?)
  (you will be able to tell if it the right one as the screen will populate with your files)
• Locate the file you downloaded and saved earlier, dumpit
• double click it to run it
• a black window will open, follow the instructions to close the window when it's finished
• a file called MBR.zip should now be placed in the right hand panel
• Click the Home icon at top
• Remove the CD and click Power off
• Click restart

Once the computer has rebooted transfer the screenshot you made earlier to the usb device. Please attach the MBR.zip file and the screenshot to your next reply.

Thanks
