i need help,quickly...

my house has 4 computers in total yesterday i discoverd a virus on my mothers pc something like "Bronktok" or something...well if that wasnt bad enough my brother suddeenly got it,but his in now unusable,my in almost there.....

I random restarts everytime i try download smomething.....
I have a random restart every time i try to install something....
Found the virus in "My pictures" from what i see it is a web page file or firefox document....
I tried to download Spybot search and destroy, AVG,but it restarts everytime im just about to save it....
Got it on another pc,put it on a flash disk but as soon as i get to any folder on my WHOLE PC that a .exe ( think) it JUST RESTARTS!??
I think it may be keyloggin me because some really wierd things are happening to my small cursor that changes when you type,the one that looks like a "I" its blinking really quickly and doing random stuff like dissapearing....
Ive tried Safe mode
ive have tred everything.....

PLEASE HELP:

oh, and i think it disabled my "folder option button" in "tools" in a window...
(the one you use to view hidden files....)

if you can get any important docs out of it safely, I would DBAN the hard drive then do a fresh install.

 

[crashnburn_819]

Did you try running antivirus in safe mode from a flashdrive?

If that doesn't work, I'd just do a reformat.

Most of the time you can boot up into Safe Mode and that will do it. If this is not the case and if at all possible, run the main hard drive as a slave(considering you have a spare with OS installed). This would at least allow you to attempt to retrieve data, possibly try to rid of the virus while youre in there and go from there. This is what I have done in the past while being in your situation and it has worked most of the time.

This!
Since all important stuff is ALWAYS stored on D:\\ Partition/Hard drive...
Always... don't correct me, if you don't partition your single HDD blame yourself...

Use this.

I FIXED IT!

well like i said, i was unable to start the setup for any anti_viruses so i:

Downloaded Sybot search and destroy setup
Used CMD to start it
Finally Got it installed
Ran a couple of scans
Got rid of enogh for me to download AVG internet security
I then double scanned with them
it took a few days to Get rid of all of them!
And 2day Guess Waht?
MY FOLDER OPTIONS BUTTON IS BACK!

ALL GOOD And DANDY!

 

[Sora1421]

You better hope they don't come back....there are some nasty ones that trick you

 

[b0z0]

werd...

 

[adizz]

some of these viruses stay in the memory or whatever so you should do a scan during boot.use avast for boot scan, I have been using avast home and ad-aware and haven't had a problem since!

EDIT:see that its been fixed!

Backup, format anyways lol, this time with dual partitions to prevent it from happening again

Listen to this experienced fella, that has heavy meaning in his words.
Dual Partition is a must even on 150GB HDDs if that's your single HDD.
I even dual partitioned a 3GB back in the days I only had that single 3GB.

When I see people that has 1TB/2TB and hasn't partitioned their HDD I actually WANT their OS to crash so that they understand the importance of Dual Partition.

Don't be like this guy.
