Win32/Nsag
« on: October 27, 2005, 04:13:36 PM »
One of our pcs running Millinimun as been infected with a virus that AVG caught but is unable to get rid of.  Can someone please tell me how to remove this.  

The virus name is Win32/Nsag
Its in the C:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM file

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help

    Get yourself a windows 98 boot disc (www.bootdisk.com), and boot from it with cd rom support.

    Get to a command prompt.

    Go to the root of C:
    cd\

    then change directory:
    cd windows

    then
    cd system (or the folder where it resides)

    then change the attributes of the file so you can delete it manually:
    attrib <name of file> -s -h -r -a

    delete the file:
    del <name of file>

    If it wont delete try changing the name or extension type:
    ren <file.???> file.all (without the use of < or > and the ??? are because idon't know the file extension)

    remove the floppy and reboot.

    Make sure the file is not needed first though!!  :o

      Turn off System Restore, re-start in safe mode & re-run AVG.

      Do you frequent some shady places Marlene, you sure seem to pick up some stuff.  8)

      Do some research on smitfraud which is another name for what you have.
      Do you get a 1/4 size blue screen warning from time to time ? ?

      Last time i had to remove this from a client's machine i remember it being a royal pain you know where.

      I forgot to mention... DO NOT purchase any program that shows as a popup that offers to clean up your problem...

      This is known as scumware and you will be throwing your money away.

      Actually, they make for good common sense detectors.

      The result can only be in boolean.
