Knightmare Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 It has deleted files from my Adobe folder in program files, it deleted a system file, and it deleted files from WSUS Offline updates. Is anyone else having this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOQUILLO Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Me not, all very fine here (ESET Smart Security 5.2.9.12). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knightmare Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 Then maybe it's a real virus. It deleted a file called CCLEANER.EXE but when I went to the CCleaner folder, that file remained. Very interesting virus. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knightmare Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 I think ESET is removing the virus for the most part. I will run the sality removal tool when ESET finishes scanning. Now I have another problem: Whenever I try to uninstall a program, I get the following message: How do I fix this? I'm assuming that all of my uninstall exe files are corrupt; the programs seem to be running fine though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motograter Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 also try hijackthis, sality is pretty nasty after cleaning up your PC you may run into problems from the damage i would just format and start from scratch if possible. Sorry to hear it happened you. I'm surprised a popular virus slipped by eset but i think they are stuck in the 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knightmare Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 It's not that bad. I'm able to install programs, which seems to fix the error message. All I need to do is run the installer for the program that is giving the error message. No need to reformat. I will say that the only thing I ran before I got the virus was Quick 7z Extractor by Josh Cell. I went to his site to download the program, now I'm being followed by vitruvian.biz and infolinks.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-hot Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I had a similar problem to your problem and the more likely you are to have an infection coming from the file-sharing software like me! :o I scan my system with many protection programs have detected everything as Malware :( And want to delete everything on the system and even Windows system files have been detected as malware! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOQUILLO Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 The only way for solve your problem is format C:.Trying to fix the problems caused by this virus is irreversible, and nothing can make Hitman, Spybot, Malwarebytes, etc, etc, the reason is just as easy and damaged files were sent to quarantine and deleted many of them, and therefore are unrecoverable.It seems very strange that this happened to you, then I took almost five years using ESET Smart Security and have never had this kind of problem, even though I'm addicted to P2P programs.

MrCyberNeo Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 The easiest way is to use a system restore point, if you have one before the infection. Otherwise a new clean install is the only way dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZarkoZarce Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Format OS Drive / Partition ,seem necessary :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H4rDw4rE Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 switch to avg antivirus .. or use Malwarebytesthat won't make him safer at all. Like someone said, use format, clean install of everything, if possible ofcourse, and use image tools to make backup image of whole systems (personally use acronis true image), it would be much easier and less time consuming if you have backup copy. If not, good luck with sality, once I had it and only good options had to format hard disk... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avmad Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Ouch. Don't attach usb drive or external HDD because it will infect them. I think a format is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted November 20, 2012 Administrator Share Posted November 20, 2012 Moved to Security and Privacy Center. Here is some information if you want. As noted, lot of AVs are disabled by this virus, so I won't directly blame ESET, but it should have prevented it. First, make sure it's removed, from MBAM, Hitman and Malicious Software Removal Tool.. Then you can continue the way you want. Also, make sure to drop a comment to Josh Cell asking him/them to make sure they too aren't infected. If it has truly come from there, lot of people would be at risk.

Please don't get me wrong because I didn't meant to offend you, your suggestion is definitelly worth to try but my experience (and many others) is not good with this virus. Regards.

unknownasphyxiated Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 whenever you're infected with this kind of virus,clean install is necessary because it infect all .exe and .scr file if you don't want to do clean install,try repair install you won't lose your file if you don't have any installation media for windows 7, you need to clean any remaining infected file use this kaspersky sality killer then you can do sfc /scannow to repair any corrupted file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
