    I scanned with nod32 my computer 4 times.. and it found many viruses that i removed but.. it didnt delete a virus called WIN32/virut.nbk .. seems that this virus has infected all my programs.. (all .exe types ). it found more than 300 infections but only quarantined them . if i removed them it will mean to remove even system files.. so what should i do?
    the virus keeps restarting my computer.and I tried many antiviruses but only nod32 found that win32/virut.nbk but it doesnt clean it from files..


    I have many important things in my computer so i cant format it..

    I would recommend running NOD32 in safe mode.

    Also try "Recovery Console" its on windows XP CD. Where you can delete file until OS is loaded, just type the command (delete) and path (with correct syntax).

    I dont know where the virus is located ..:(
    Its a very bad virus.. i read in google about this trojan and all say its incurable.. and only PC format can help..
    but there must be another way to get rid of it .. i tried nod32 even in safe mode .. the virus is still there

    I ran process explorer and schvost.exe was 9 times .. and was red but its a system process and its description is : Generic Host process for win32 applications.
    I tried a program called combofix .. and it removed many malwares .. but still the PC is not stabilized it keeps restarting . i just cant figure out how nod32 finds it but cannot clean the virus:(

    and thanks very much for trying to help me everyone:)

    Please download ESET SysInspector, create a log, then email it to support("at")eset[dot]com for further assistance. Include as much information as possible in the email plus a link to this thread.

    Explorer.exe you can replace with fresh one from windows CD(ask Google), but schvost.exe, not sure:blink:

    Yeh! That is crazy situation:blink: Only correct order of operations could cure your PC and there are too many of them if do it manually. Ive got no such a problems for a really long period of time, because, i almost never turning off my AV and firewall:rolleyes:

    Try, but risk is high, scan your HDD from another PC( maybe with linux OS if there exist any AV) and kill the infected files, but before, create backup of system files.

    You can try running the free version of malwarebytes at www.malwarebytes.com. The program has 'Virus.Virut' in its list of detected malware. Make sure you update the malware definitons prior to running the scan.

    What's the problem exactly? Is it that ESET cannot clean these files and offers you only deletion? Or you're getting an error while cleaning? Do you have advanced heuristics enabled while cleaning?

    If system files being in use are already infected, it's necessary to boot from a clean media in order to clean them. Bear in mind that some viruses modify files to such extent that it's impossible to restore the original content. The best would be if you could restore a clean copy of them to ensure proper functioning.

    HI Marcos thank you for your reply , first all my network computers got infected with variant type of virut.nbk and nod32 detects them but cant remove or clean it just nod32 gives error while cleaning .

    unfortunately i formatted the infected machine but here there is a computer infected with virut.NBP

    the virus infected all the system 32 executable files

    c:\windows\system32\spoolsv.exe
    \ ctfmon.exe
    \calc
    \taskmgr.exe
    windows\explorer.exe

    and some applications errors appear like drwatson.

    Since system files are usually exclusively used by the OS, it may be necessary to boot from a clean media (e.g. rescue cd) and run a full system scan with cleaning from it.

    The process of creating a rescue cd is described in this KB article. However, the best course of action when system files get infected is to reinstall Windows as file infecting viruses may modify files to such an extent that they won't run after cleaning.

    i m really angry now :mad: :mad: :mad:
    the computer was really protected with updated nod32 version 4 + the full proper configuration.

    how come the virus infects a protected computero_Oo_O

    suppose that im administrating 300 or 400 computer in network , it will be impossible to reinstall windows to all these clients.
