From: benjammin on 3 Jan 2006 05:29 These are helpful, but no spyware removal things will remove this, I need something different - what does Dave Lipman's thing actually do? Preferably, I'd just like to run the sfc/scannow, so does anyone know why it might not work?

I've downloaded it and read the HTML, but haven't used it yet - I'm interested in seeing if it can be adapted to more formal use. As it is, AFAIK it starts by downloading stuff (updates etc.) from within normal (infected) Windows, then is to be used from Safe Mode, etc. As Safe Mode doesn't suppress all explicit integrations and will be likely to run intrafile code infectors, I'd really prefer to work "from orbit", e.g. from Bart CDR boot. At the least, I'd like to get updates etc. and prepare the scanners from a clean PC, and then run them from Safe Mode on the infected PC, preferably from read-only storage such as locked USB stick or CDRW. Also, remember to re-apply any HOSTS-mediated static protection, such as Spyware Blaster or certain off-the-peg antimalware HOSTS files, as Dave's procedure appears to leave the existing HOSTS deactivated. I'm working on a scanning wizard for Bart PE CDR boot that will run a sequence of 5 av scanners with a minimum of stop/go interaction, so I was interested in how Dave's worked. >------------ ----- ---- --- -- - - - - The most accurate diagnostic instrument in medicine is the Retrospectoscope >------------ ----- ---- --- -- - - - -

It is a tool for dealing with OS corruption where a specific EXE or DLL file was accidentdetally replaced with an older version file. For example, you install WinXP SP2 and you installed a new printer but did not slipstream the installation files and a SP1 DLL replaced a SP2 DLL file. The SFC can replace the faulty DLL with a SP2 DLL from a cache. The tool that I suggested spaecifically seeks out Trojans, Viruses and other forms of malware and removes them. I suggest you use my tool and start with the McAfee module. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html http://www.ik-cs.com/got-a-virus.htm

While you mention booting from a Bart PE, the included PDF file does provide instructions for creating a DOS Boot Disk or DOS Boot Disk with NTFS4DOS for outside the OS scanning. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html http://www.ik-cs.com/got-a-virus.htm |
