Problem with I-WORM/VB.DV.

Hi Niobis,
I haven't got much time these days, so i haven't started with Avast, in the mean time I found this:

what do you think of it?

Reliable source, I use it often. That should help you in deleting it manually.

Good luck.

 

Hi Niobis,
Here to report the developements in my battle against Brontok.b... interesting name i have to say, I think I am going to name one of my kids like that, preferably when it's a girl, try to imagine, wouldn't that be great? Anyway: I think I nailed the bastard! Not by deleting it manually (as discribed in the symantec procedure I posted earlier), because, when I arrived at that particular step, I found out the virus was already gone, and nowhere to be found! Apparantly it had nothing to do with a new virusscan or anything, because no matter which one I did, the virus was never found. I believe that the virus was deleted in the process of turning of system restore!
It must be gone now, because virus notifications have seized to pop up all over the place... If I'm wrong, I'll let you know...
Many thanks for the help,
I've learned a lot!

P.S.: I am currently connected to the local university network, and I have to say that this seems like a digital Bronx neighborhood... I've been on it for how long now... probably just a week, and i've already had to defend from viruses, a trojan (Win32.askyaya or something, I think it never had the chance of infecting my computer, since Zone Alarm caught it immediately... Chances are of course that i'm wrong, and if that's the case I'll let you know again...), and a real flesh 'n blood hacker!
Anyway, prudency is my master now...

So glad to hear everything is clean now.

Here's a couple things you may need/want to do:

1. Set a new System Restore point.
2. Defragment your system.
3. Run Check Disk to make sure nothing was taken out by Brontok or any others.
Start > Run > type chkdsk > click OK>
4. Update Windows.

Good luck!
