Hi all, I just found this website from browsing through the web for remedies for my current situation and found this site to be quite lively and active. Looks I found the right place! Anyways, here is my situation:
My pc has just recently been infected with a virus called W32.Gammima.AG. My Norton was able to remove it but it just keeps coming back. The attack has escalated to the point where it constantly loads my CPU to 100% after loading into windows. I was able to pull the task manager screen up and see a process named “Kxvo.exe” that looks suspicious, I search and removed it from all folder and registry, but it just keeps coming back. I’m paranoid with viruses so I proceeded to format my pc and backed my important files to my external USB hard drive. After the reinstall, my pc was back to normal for a day, so I plugged my external USB drive back into my pc and CRAP there it is again, the same virus, and now my pc is lagging again. I’m pretty sure the virus made a copy of itself into my USB drive. I then researched online for this kxvo.exe and found it to be a pretty nasty virus that will just keep duplicating itself after deleting it and will make copies to whatever external drive it attaches to.
I have already read through the 8 step preliminary instructions and will perform it, but I like to know what I should do about my external USB drive. There is no where else I can back my files to other than external drives, but the drives will just be infected if I plug it into my already infected pc. What are the steps I should do to remove this virus from my pc and external USB drive and any safe ways to back up my files?
Thank you so much for the read and possibly helping me. I appreciated.
