HAROO GUYS  I don't know if this has been asked here before but I'm too lazy to search  well,.. A friend of mine got infected by some kind of virus idk what but here are the symptoms. Internet gets sluggish, any website that has ANYTHING to do with av's or software download is instantly blocked, any attempt to update any of it's AV's,windows update, or anti-malware has been blocked well basically u can connect to the internet but it's just very slow and sometimes it crashes the browser when i heard my friend tell me this i said to not connect from the internet until i find a solution we tried booting it in safemode but somehow the virus is gone but it has somekind of defense mechanism that it turns off the internet connection it doesn't block any software and MBAM and AVG is detecting the virus but for some reason it just keeps BEING detected but never removed we've tried flushing system restore points but still no progress I even tried the Kaspersky rescue disk (but on a USB flash drive) and put it on there but same thing it can't update therefore cannot see the virus it's not the wifi network cause well, there isn't one we connect to DSL broadband so yeah if we can fix this without having to format the hardrive that would be awesome I'm familiar with this virus because i was once infected by it and well Britec's videos on youtube helped me fix my computer but for some reason that method isn't working for me :( love you guys and thank you!  |

well britec it says it was a malware or worm I can't post the logs now because the USB drive i connected was infected by the virus (it was detected by avira when i connected it to my computer)
and we cannot risk getting more viruses by connecting to the internet but if it is needed i will try and tell him that, further information regarding the problem here is that, it has almost done NOTHING to the system itself, it's all internet connection we even tried using a cellphone as a MODEM to see if the broadband was the problem and well that came out pathetic and we just facepalmd ourselves because the virus was still working my friend is getting frustrated and also confused because he doesn't even go to any other site other than facebook or youtube and almost never downloads anything unless i told him to well this is very confusing for me to do we have to reformat the hardrive in this case or?

ahh britec i found out the viruses that were being detected malwarebytes detects Worm/Swisyn.algm and TR/Dropper.Gen4. while avira detects the worm and W32/Sality.Y. I heard on your video that thats a nasty virus? My friend was surprised when we looked at the avira virus lab when we saw the danger lvl of some of these viruses and they were High and he didn't even do anything with his computer |

hello well after a few tries we managed to get some other softwares As i stated i already had kaspersky rescue disk on that computer via my USB so i downloaded a couple more portable softwares to my USB drive i downloaded super anti spyware which removed 1 spyware on the good side we were able to remove ALMOST all of the viruses EXCEPT sality for some reason it only gets detected but after a system restart it's detected again and again luckily no infected files were detected maybe there weren't any or they just can't get detected just the virus itself i'll try removing it manually and see what happens BTW i downloaded ALOT of portable softwares to scan the computer and only a few were able to remove some well we are certainly happy that we were making progress now one final virus need to be removed.  |

OHHHHH AND 1 more thing the internet is up and running perfectly again BTW thanks to your epicness of course. BUT remember when i said nothing was happening to the system? well now there is computer usage is very high and the PC is also pretty slow we just turned the computer off and go safemode and then do what we want from there and the sality virus is very hard to get rid of i must say. well should we take to a proffesional for virus removal or can we remedy this by ourselves?  |

I love Mrizos, he's my favorite Malware-Removal guide. Now, what I recommend is that you download Dr. Web CureIt! LiveUSB, but download from a different computer. Then, open BIOS and boot onto your USB. If you have a blankCD, I'd recommend a write-protected CD over a Flash Drive. Still, do as you please. Just update it and use the Linux-GUI to help you use the tools provided to delete the Malware. |

You have got to be careful using DR Webs Cure it, if you dont set it up right it will delete files and these files could be critical files that the system needs to run, I have used Dr Web many times BUT I do think Kaspersky Rescue CD is far better than Dr Webs Cure It.
One thing to remember using these types of removal software, sometimes you might have to delete a critical file and then expand that file back into the operating system.
If you just delete the critical file your find the system wont boot up, so be warned unless you know how to get yourself out of a jam leave well alone and let someone who does know... fix it for you.
