Norman Malware Cleaner 2008.12.03


Norman Malware Cleaner is a Norman program utility that may be used to detect and remove specific malicious software (malware).

Note that it should not be used as a substitute for running normal proactive antivirus protection, but rather as a reactive tool to handle systems that are already infected.

It will clean an infected system completely:

  • kill running processes that are infected
  • reveal and remove rootkits
  • remove infections from disk (including ActiveX components and browser helper objects)
  • restore correct registry values
  • remove references created by malware in hosts file
  • remove windows firewall rules for malicious programs

Dr. Web CureIt

We need to run a system scan with Dr. Web CureIt (Dr.Web CureIt tutorial)
  1. Please download DrWeb-CureIt & save it to your desktop.
    DO NOT perform a scan yet.

  2. Reboot your computer in "SAFE MODE" using the F8 method. To do this, restart your computer and after hearing your computer beep once during startup (but before the Windows icon appears) press the F8 key repeatedly. A menu will appear with several options. Use the arrow keys to navigate and select the option to run Windows in "Safe Mode". Do not select "Safe Mode with Networking" or "Safe Mode with Command Prompt".

  3. Double-click on drweb-cureit.exe to start the program. An "Express Scan of your PC" notice will appear.

  4. Under "Start the Express Scan Now", Click "OK" to start. This is a short scan that will scan the files currently running in memory and when something is found, click the Yes button when it asks you if you want to cure it.

  5. Once the short scan has finished, Click Options > Change settings

  6. Choose the "Scan tab" and UNcheck "Heuristic analysis"

  7. Back at the main window, click "Custom Scan", then Select drives (a red dot will show which drives have been chosen).

  8. Then click the "Start/Stop Scanning" button (green arrow on the right) and the scan will start.

  9. When done, a message will be displayed at the bottom advising if any viruses were found.

  10. Click "Yes to all" if it asks if you want to cure/move the file.

  11. When the scan has finished, look if you can see the icon next to the files found. If so, click it, then click the next icon right below and select "Move incurable".
    (This will move it to the C:\Documents and Settings\userprofile\DoctorWeb\Quarantine folder if it can't be cured)

  12. Next, in the Dr.Web CureIt menu on top, click file and choose save report list.

  13. Save the DrWeb.csv report to your desktop.

  14. Exit Dr.Web Cureit when done.

Peek-A-Boo: A method to remove virus out of your USB drive without getting infected!

Scenario: You have a USB drive in your hand and are scratching your head as to insert it into your PC or not ( the style of to-do-or-not-to-do) . Because you know it has viruses and you cant format it also because of the all important data. So this is where i step in or rather this post steps in. (It has legs, mind you)

OK. I will make all the work easy for you. Just follow the following steps.

First Download TREE SIZE PROFESSIONAL from the publisher site.

OR Download TREE SIZE PROFESSIONAL from CNET

The above mentioned software shows the space usage of your drives in graphical format.

As you know viruses get activated when you access the USB drive. But if TREE SIZE accesses the USB drive then virus is not activated.So i thought of playing a peek-a-boo and catching the virus unawares( not in your hand, of course) by exploring the space usage and then delete it.

So after you install right click the USB drive and see the listing. You will see a screen like this.

Click the image to enlarge:

Now you can identify the virus, provided you know before hand what files were there in your pendrive.

Now delete the virus by right-click-the-file-and-delete .
