• Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.

    Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!

    Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here. And by posting here, your question and data is stored on our servers and not automatically shared with a whole social media network.

    We'll also start using the forum for small bits of information, announcements and more again.

Virtuonde Strikes again.

Situation, I have 2 HD's on my computer and had windows installed on both in case one crashed. I was hit with the vituonde and have switched the boot config to use the other HD and it seems to be working so far. i have S&D set up and running now. and i am wondering if there is a way to do a log file of the other drive, or some other search to remove the cursed virus without totally formatting and reinstalling XP. I do believe that i have copied and saved as much as i can from that other HD. What is recommended?

BTW I will be out of town between 23 June and 8 July so do not archive me just yet. ty.
 
Please note that all instructions given are customised for this computer only, the tools used may cause damage if used on a computer with different infections.

If you think you have similar problems, please post a log in the HJT forum and wait for help.

Hello and welcome to the forums

My name is Katana and I will be helping you to remove any infection(s) that you may have.

Please observe these rules while we work:
1. If you don't know, stop and ask! Don't keep going on.
2. Please reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
3. Please continue to respond until I give you the "All Clear"
(Just because you can't see a problem doesn't mean it isn't there)

If you can do those three things, everything should go smoothly

It would be best if all the logs you produce are from the infected installation.
I know this may sound daft, but these tools are designed to be used on a running machine.

If it is a simple Vundo problem then we can cure it for you without a reformat :)
