    Can you point me in a direction to help ensure a good clean drive to start with??  I have reinstalled once,  and now days later here I am.  And thank you for the advice about the virut...I keep thinking I can beat it.  I'm giving up.

    One last question, there are PE Structure Viewers, Explorers, etc. out there that allow looking inside at the root of a file.  I have downloaded one and looked at the nasty file.  There is definitely some concerns but since I'm rebooting, it won't matter.  But, is that software viewer able to help one successfully achieve eradication of Virut?  If you know what you are looking for?  I am stubborn, but not stupid however am also curious to no end!!

    Appreciate all of your time and comments guys!!

    Most experts agree that you can't clean a Virut infection.

    If you do not know how to perform a fresh install, use this website -> www.windowsreinstall.com/

    If you want to try a few more scans before reformatting, try these. These is one list in Reply#16. It's called Avira AntiVir rescue CD or Dr Web Live CD

    * Go to Start > Run and type mrt.exe then press Enter on the keyboard).
    * (Vista and Windows 7 users go to Start and type mrt.exe in the search box then press Enter on the keyboard.
    * Click Next.
    * Choose Full Scan and click Next.
    * Once the scan is finished click View detailed results of the scan.

    Look through the list and let me know if anything was found infected.

      Hi Dave, remember me??  I am in the process of a complete from scratch reinstall.  I wanted to run my user32.dll file through the Virus Total process to ensure I had clean install.  I have a validated Windows Insallation disk.  That is the only thing that has been on hard drive except for the floppy disk that was used to enable the brand new hard drive for use.

      Virus Total indicates a trojan patched by the Hacker.  the scan I did on last user32.dll file was a Win32.Banker by esafe. 

      I need some understanding on what the contents of the url as raised below and what direction I go now since apparently either the infection is on my installation disk or...? 

      Please!!!




      THIS IS THE URL THAT I COPIED AND PASTED IN NOTEPAD;  Please look at part where it says that "Virus Total's website has changed and that they need new translations... and do you want to help community"

                          a "#" symbol to a word you can add custom tags to your comment, tags that can then be searched for.
