This infection is a password stealer. Your "critical" identity is being harvested and sent to another domain.
Please read this article:
Win32/Sality Family - CA
Since you are Beta testing Win7, my advice would be to do a clean install of the OS.
****Before you do that tho', find a known clean computer, and change all your passwords. If you have used any online banking or credit cards with the infected computer, be sure to notify your bank.
To be honest with you, I'd be more concerned of the fact that you "catched" a virus, I'll pray for you meng
i am not even sure if it is the one...this virus goes undetected throughout all the antiviruses i have tried mcafee norton avast stinger truesword etc....
i cn do the formatting but hw can i know this is the win32.sality
i came 2 know it is win32.sality coz when i googled the keywords in the ghost2.bmp i found a site mentioning it 2 b win32.sality
my symptoms are the unique one.
and can u please telll more symptoms of win32,sality?
and do teme if there is any possible way 2 revert the changes back...hidden folders to normal
- Which operating system does your laptop run on ?
»Download and install Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and run it on safe mode.
»Run a full system scan, after it has finished scanning remove all infections when prompted.
»Boot windows normal mode.
here is the screenshot which explains the problem deeper...and i am using windows 7 Rc
I don't know if this still works with windows seven but try to run Trend Micro HijackThis to know those unwanted apps
or try Kaspersky Anti-Virus or Kaspersky Internet Security, it ranks as one of the best AV's out there and it has a 30-day trial. Try installing it see if it could remove the "virus"
or run an Online Virus Scan on their website.
(I don't think it supports Mozilla Firefox so use Internet Explorer instead)
ohk i wud try that too...any clue about the symptoms i told...and hv u checked out the screenshot that gives detailed description of my problem
