View Full Version : 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.

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 :)
