Laptop b0rked after virus

[Darthshearer]

I got a virus yesterday and its b0rked my lappy. I booted in safe mode and did a scan and its found nothing more than what it blocked last time. I.e it f@cking allowed it access, then found it again then blocked it then deleted it.

Now, everytime I boot up in normal mode I get a Blue Screen.

Is it a format jobbie? I am a little worried about a BSOD isnt that a hardware issue normally?

Check you event logs in Safe Mode see if its a real blue screen rather than just a virus displaying a blue screen to scare you. The error code on the blue screen will point you in the direction of the fault. Memory faults can be confirmed then with memtest ect.

Ah, the virus was saying I had memory issues and threw up a "diagnostic tool" to "repair" it. I am not 100% sure if my gfriend has run it or not.

Ill do that when I get home and see what the SP is.

Thanks for the reply.

Right

I can boot in safe mode and its fine. I am now scanning with malware to check.

Ive checked the events log and nothing is jumping out at me.

I did an MSconfig and found this little thing in startup;

C:\ProgramData\ScFifFUnavADgjd.exe

Any ideas?

Not heard of it but it sounds like a fake warning. Have you tried using mbam? Also try rkill to stop the virus running in the first place.

Cheers guysm will give them a bash

If you do install both make sure to remove one when you are done. It is a widely held belief that multiple AV installs actually weaken your system rather than securing it.

Done and sorted. Thanks for the help guys.

A combination of Rkiill and MBAM worked little bastard thing
