Dont know what hit me Pls Help - 12/14/2004 20:19:07   
Hi out there

It started with some heavy attacks, then the Internet became a little bit slower and at a point it started looping restarting the computer giving me very little time but good enough to allow me burn a cd and to dig in the registry (that was on installments) cut sths. Apparently I cut some good one because it is not looping anymore,But it is very slow in general -let alone if you are trying to write sth in Word. In case you want to save a Word document it shows no response and then comes back to normal. It also freezes if you are trying to go to Accesories\System tools and although you get the Task Manager you cannot even shutdown.
Before all my Browsers have been hijacked it would let me connect but it would cut the connection between my PC and the remote Antivirus server to get the update and by now I cannot even connect (I now use another PC).
(I once managed to get only the IE running-dont ask me how-I dont know- but once I tried to reconnect after installing the Kaspersky Antivirus to get the update I could not connect anymore.) Additionally, when I try to repair Windows (XP) says it cannot because there is a newer version (???)
I used Adware, Spybot S&D, I had the ZoneAlarm Firewall Pro Trial, I have F-Secure Antivirus
all the Microsoft patches. I downloaded all possible tools Sentinel Kaspersky Antilove fun, WinPatrol, Spywareguard included but no trace of anything.
I uninstalled reinstalled the antispyware and ISP programmes but no chance. I looked again in the registry ust in case I could trace anything like Bofra,etc. but no luck.

I seriously dont know what it is infected with.

All I know that this is my last call before formating it(which I hate since I have all my accounting and the YearEnd Closing is approaching and IRS is waiting).

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks

Desperately

Cal

I would use the other computer to download Bit Defender. Get it onto a CDR if you can and then run the virus checker through your machine from the CD. If it still picks up nothing then a reformat is probably your only remaining option.

You might be able to get your accounts off from the Dos prompt if you boot straight into DOS at startup. If you do though, for heavens sake run the disk with them on through every virus checker you can lay your hands on before putting them back on the clean machine.
