Now George Njoroge, you forgot that we Linux users have to maintain Windows machines and remove viruses in machines where users don't bother doing back -ups.
Hi Guys
Ok I get it all you guys are windows guys, don''t worry I was there
before I realized what the Matrix was.
Nway lets start: A virus cannot recreate itself once deleted it only
means u deleted the recreated virus/file you gotta clean all. Mostly
as indicated above, on systems by Bill Gates these files/viruses hide
in C:/Windows/System32. If you follow the steps outlined above you can
see them i.e. make sure hidden files are visible and also file
extensions.
Another way to locate these 'viruses/files' is to use msconfig
command, that brings up a config screen which your main interest
should be the "startup" tab. Go thru the programs listed there and you
may see your culplits e.g sasha.vbs including the path. Here you have
a choice of stopping thing u dont want to run at startup, for files
you would like to delete you have to disable them from starting at
startup then restart your machine. Now you should be able to delete
these files.
There are many more tweaks including SAFE MODE but the best is going
the TUX way ie linux.
Hehe hope that helps. Cheers.
