Answers to: virus that has compromised my eee pc 900http://linuxexchange.org/questions/3203/virus-that-has-compromised-my-eee-pc-900<p>I have a serious virus that has compromised my eee pc 900. I found this virus before and posted the thread. I was unclear with my questions and everyone that helped me in the forum were very kind. Again today my internet was being used by another party, it is encrypted and I am the only person that has the password. I have snap shots of the details of when I sign on to my wireless that show unknown wifi attached. I checked the DOM Inspector and have 8 screen shots of all the files that were cloned, redirected and had been attached to. I tried several different AV's with no success. Does anyone have any suggestions? I would greatly appreciate any input you may have.</p>enWed, 23 Oct 2013 10:31:17 -0400Answer by f1lbyhttp://linuxexchange.org/questions/3203/virus-that-has-compromised-my-eee-pc-900/3238<p>Put Hijackthis and Autoruns on a memory stick. Boot up in safe mode and use these two tools to remove anything nasty in startup.</p> <p>Also install Microsoft Security Essentials as your antivirus software. Also use Malwarebytes free to scan for any Malware.</p> <p>If you have a rootkit virus you may see an additional partition when you open Disk Manager. You could potentially remove a rootkit partition without killing the machine but approach with EXTREME caution!</p> <p>Best Regards</p> <p>Phil Blythe - <a href="http://www.aynet.co.uk">http://www.aynet.co.uk</a></p>f1lbyWed, 23 Oct 2013 10:31:17 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/3203/virus-that-has-compromised-my-eee-pc-900/3238
