Certainly all helpers I've met would say reformat - even sUBs. I think he just did that for the sheer challenge! I must have a dig around and see if I can find the thread one of these days...

Lots of reports about this now, seems this is spreading at a fair rate.

Yep.
Got about 10 forums linking to this page too in a matter of days, seems your original post has become the authority on this. |

I am currently working on a PC with the Virut.56 virus, and I ran Dr. Web as I always do now to identify in-coming PC’s that customers claim to be viral. Dr. Web is the ONLY A.V. that sees it besides Avast that names it something else
__________________
After Dr.Web said cured, I was able to boot the machine and run a complete Windows repair, that seems to be working so far. A couple of the programs installed have had a couple of issues, BUT windows seems to be running fine? WILL keep you posted… My System: ProGear Custom

Run the computer for a while and then scan with Dr Web again for a double check.
You might also run all of these. (Virut is also known as sality) W32.Virut Removal Tool AVG Win32/Virut AVG Win32/Sality

Tried all those others, they do nothing as far as I have seen, this is actually the first of about 2 dozen that we've seen come through that we may have gotten thrrough. Trust me, I have re-formatted plenty of machines, but continue to plow away at one once in awhile to see if we can bust this nasty bug...
