  1. I thought I had a fairly clean system for a couple of days there, avira detected no viruses, however some sprang up (not on c:, thankfully!) - if I'm happy with deleting infected files instead of cleaning, do you still recommend Kaspersky as a free antivirus?
  2. Just a question, if I were to reformat my c: drive, no other drives plugged in, antivirus and malware protection running, then plug the other infected drives is... will the antivirus stop ramnit from spreading to c:? Because I thought I could just do that, and delete anything on the other drives that comes up with a detection, keeping in mind that avira seems to block access to executing any file infected with ramnit. (I have clean backups of everything, I'm just trying to think of a way to keep my game installations unless they become infected) If this method would stop a fresh windows install from becoming infected again, I'd prefer to do it like that, and keep my essential data on a non-infected machine.
  3. Just one last thing, if I run in EPM mode, I can't save the scan results as a text file - if I don't run in that mode, then I do get the text file.
  4. Also, I found out why I was getting move errors, because I ran out of space on c: so it seems I'm going to have to start the scan all over again. However there's another problem - when the laptop finished scanning and cleaning, I didn't get the option to open up the log, is it stored somewhere automatically, or something like that?
  5. It's spread to my laptop as well, however every file has been cured, moved or deleted - what should I do on that one? My desktop is still going through fixing 60,000 infections.
  6. I'm just neutrelizing everything now (it took about 14 hours) however with many of the files, I don't get an option to cure, only move. I think because they're application dll's - I don't think I'll have the same problem with game dll's - is this normal, to not be able to cure a lot of files?
  7. I found that thousands of my system files across four hard (4.5tb worth) drives are all infected with win32/ramnit.a, according to malwarebytes and avira. I tried to quarantine just my c: drive, but the virus came back, and it also resulted in ruining most of my installed programs. Reinstalling windows would be simple enough, but is there any way to remove the virus without having to reinstall all my games? As I have 3tb of those, which would be a huge, huge headache to reinstall. Since I don't use the machine for internet, I'm considering just leaving the system in its infected state - I wasn't aware I even had a virus until an application refused to run with an odd error message, which I googled, and found that ramnit was the cause.
