Title: Manual Virus Removal
Post by: Flip81 on March 18, 2008, 08:53:04 PM

I guess this question is for the hardcore malware removal specialists.  What are the most common directories/places in an operating system that viruses like Zlob, virtumonde, hotbar hide??

Where are the places I could manually search in C: to see if there were abnormalities?
