Virus Repair

[S1ght]

Wasn't too sure if this was the right section for this, oh well

Well, my stupid school doesn't have any anti virus & I often use my flash drive to bring home projects and stuff we do on the computers and to my delight I got the Tenga virus from them. It basically resizes every exe file on your pc making them corrupt, I managed to get rid of the virus with Nod32 but all my exe files are messed.

Does anyone know of a program that can maybe fix them or is it just a case of pushing delete and then redownloading them?

Thanx in advance

Try this:

Download the Sysclean Package from:
http://www.trendmicro.com/download/dcs.asp

1. Create a new folder on drive "C:\" ("C:\New Folder") and rename it Sysclean.
2. Place the sysclean.com inside that folder.
3. Then download the latest Virus Pattern Files [lptXXX.zip] from:
http://www.trendmicro.com/download/pattern.asp

4. Extract the lptXXX.zip pattern file into the same folder you created for sysclean.com.
5. Close all open applications and DISABLE your current anti-virus software.
6. Open the Sysclean folder and double-click on sysclean.com to run.
7. It will take some time to complete. Be patient and let it clean whatever it finds.
8. Exit when done and re-enable your anti-virus program.

If that does not work then download and scan with the 30 day free trial of Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal 5.0 [requires registration]:

Note: Disable or uninstall your current AV BEFORE installing Kaspersky. When your system is clean you can uninstall Kaspersky and reinstall your own AV again.
