   Hi,
   I think my computer is infected with these viruses.
   However, they stopped me from getting to any website which provides the online scanning…..(including those websites you mentioned above)
   What would you suggest to do with these viruses?
   Thank you very much for your time.
   Best wishes,
   ruby

     Hey Ruby,
     I recommend going to local store, like walmart even and purchasing a USB jump drive, you can purchase a small cheap one. Use a friends computer to download MalwareBytes AntiMalware free edition. Put it on the jump drive but rename it to something else, like test.exe. Use this to run on your machine and clean. Let me know if this helps.

   Hi Zero,

   I’ve read your recommendation for ruby and i think you can help me with the same virus problem. Im working in a bank and most of the files that our branches need is sent/downloaded via network, till this month it become an outbreak in our company with this virus named conflicker.exe ..it started to prompt in our servers “buffer overflow” then triggers our network to goes UP and DOWN..and stops the RPC services that gives our network and system a mess..actually we already tried to use some kido remover and regular scanning but still our network is not stable and i think its because of the virus..

   What can you suggest to do with these virus? (for domain users, in one network group)

   Thank you very much for your time.
   God Bless..

   Ann

     With a network outbreak you have to isolate the systems that are infected from the rest of the network. Once this is done, make sure your patches are all updated on the un infected machines. The Flaw that this virus uses was patched by Microsoft in October 2008. With the rest of the network patched and updated, then you want to take the infected machines and run Malwarebytes against. You will need to run it complete scan till it comes back clean. Do this in safemode. In reality with a banking system, I would recommend a wipe of the systems and a reinstall simply because no virus scanner is guaranteed to get everything. I recommend a re install over a virus scanner clean up even for home uses, but even more so for Corporate Networks.

   Rubbish, all and every bit of advice you gave these poor woman. Total BS. Avira, is suppose to be the top notch bug cleaner, nix to that, full scan on my set and zero, it said I have no Viruses?. The hell I don’t. That’s the 30 anti-virus program I have tried. Microsoft wrote this virus, and Microsoft is the only ones who can get rid of it?. If you own your PC and all that is within, paid for in cash, as was in my case. Because Vista is weak, and let’s in viruses I have reloaded it 8 or more times. I Have to register it, and Pay again, for something I own?. Millions of folk like me refuse to let MS double dip, and rip us off. Because I haven’t Microsoft have used the Md5 cryptic what’s it’s name, thingie. part of Vista, to make my set nearly useless. Downadup neally ended me….
   But someone soon will help I hope, with a sensible answer…
