HI Mike,
No, no. First it was not my machine. Second, Kaspersky
took care of the virus. This i verified by checking the registry
entries that kept popping up "before" I scanned with Kaspersky.
After Kaspersky, they went away and stayed away. Also the
pop ups with crap to buy disappeared. I scan afterwards with
both Kaspersky and PC-ciliin (not installed at the same time).
Can we all agree at this point that the computer in question
(not mine) no longer has a virus? If not, will you just let
me take responsibility for it?
Maybe I an too easily amused, but I enjoy defeating viruses
manually. I scan afterwards to see how well I did and to make
sure I do not mis anything. The reason for the post was that
I had gone after the virus with Bart PE, but Bart, for some
reason would not mount the weird SATA drive.
By the way this drive was weird. It would only mount
in that particular machine. I even removed it and tried
it on a USB hard drive interface I carry. Still would
not mount in Bart. But, I ramble.
So, that is when I decided to ask the groups for a better
processes viewer remover. I value others experience
and professional opinion. This is why I did not Google it.
Sorry about the name of the virus. I was/am guessing.
My memory faded too much. I did not think it was an
issue, as I was not asking for help removing it.
Anyway, that newgroup has a lot of great people
on it. It seems that the way I asked the question
triggered a lot of tangents. Although
this is not a "grammer" group, does anyone have
a suggestion as to how I could have reworded my
question so as to not trigger the unintended consequences
that I did?
Many thanks,
-T (A.K.A. Todd)
