Hello there,
I have a seriously big problem with my PC. I’ve somehow managed to get the Sality.NAM virus on my machine and it’s an absolute nightmare!
I shall give as much information possible in this post to help you help me
Main Hard Drive is partitioned into 4 sections.
Hard Drive 1:
C: Contains XP used for general USE
D: Contains XP used for Music Production
F: Contains Program files for C: XP
G: Contains Program Files for D: XP
The Other 3 Hard drives are as follows:
Hard Drive 2:
I: Music Production Projects
H: Downloaded Material (mp3’s, avi’s, etc); My Documents Folder.
Hard Drive 3:
N: Music Production Samples
Hard Drive 4:
W: Backup Drive; contains System Images etc.
I first noticed something suspicious when my CCleaner program failed to run on BOTH installs of XP! Spybot Search and Destroy also fails to run. I just get the “cannot locate file” box. Also, my Nod32 A/V Fails to run at startup and requires a manual start.
If I install CCleaner or Spybot S&D again, they disappear again after a reboot.
I ran a virus scan and noticed a whole host of infiltrations and a whole host of files in quarantine. Are these files USELESS now? I am not so fussed about my XP which is used for general use but I really can’t afford to lose anything to do with the music production side.
As shown above. I also have separate physical hard drives that contain Music Audio Projects, My Documents from General use XP, Backups etc. Are those separate Hard Drives safe?
I have posted Hijack this and MalwareBytes logs below.
My Nod32 Has placed loads into quarantine. I have taken screen dumps also of what malwarebytes found and of the quarantine in Nod32. As you can see from the Nod32 screen dump, hundreds of files are in quarantine. Am I SCREWED??? Please Help!
PS. My PC doesn’t boot into safe mode either now, and I’m guessing that it’s because of this virus.
