Hi all, nice to meet you. I did a dumb thing yesterday, put a disc into my A drive which I believed to be blank but it actually gave my PC 2 viruses. Turns out it had been given to me by the local library a while back, to save the work I'd done, when I was in there and their pcs were going down. Lord alone knows who had it before and what they were up to but I digress.
Anyway, I aquired a [Win32.]Qozah A.3361;
and for good measure a vbs redlof.
I run Zone Alarms Security Suite and straightaway it repaired the redlof file but it took me 2 sweeps to zap the Qozah virus, once to zap it and once to take it out of system restore (which I'd forgot to disable during the first sweep). I didn't even know I had the Qozah until my natural caution prompted me to do a byte level scan.
To cut a long story short, with system restore disabled I went on to to do a third byte level sweep with ZA anti virus. It took over 2 hours but came up clean. I then did a full scan with Panda Active Scan, another 2 and a half hours but again, clean, and for good measure a scan with Trend Housecall free scan, clean again. Microsoft antispyware tells me theres no Trojans lurking, so, and I know this maybe a stupid question, have I about covered it? Can I relax now with 3 scans coming up blank or is there something else I need to do?
Geoff
