Win7 Antivirus 2012

[63VDub]

Okay, here's the story, about 5 days ago, I go hit with w7av2012. Ran CCleaner first, followed by MBAM. Finished the scan and had mbam delete everything it found. Upon reboot, it got to the splash screen and rebooted and took me to the repair console. The repair console could not fix the issues, but was able to restore back to the day before I got infected. No biggie, no harm, no foul. Then yesterday, at startup, w7av2012 reared its head again and with a vengeance. To run anything I had to "run as administrator" Same song adn dance, ccleaner followed by mbam. Now, though, when it reboots and crashes at the splash screen, when it takes me to the repair console, it never fully loads. I end up with a black screen and a mouse pointer, that's it. I have removed the drive and slaves it in another computer, but no computer will boot with this drive attached (SATA) I now have the drive back in my laptop and booted via the UBCD. I'm checking it with one of the disk utilities and getting errors galore (1110 in 128991511 scanned sectors thus far) Is there anyway I can edit the boot options via F10 and get into my drive to eradicate this junk? Or will I need to find a SATA usb dock to hook the drive up to post boot on another machine? I'm stressing a little right now, never had malware hit this hard.

Hi and welcome to Malwarebytes.

Let me know how it goes.

Well, bad to worse. I DLed the Kaspersky disc, but now my hdd doesn't show up in the BIOS. I think it has taken a dump. I'm about to toss another drive in the computer to see if it is recognized, but my hopes for this drive are fading fast. My Ubuntu Live CD doesn't see the drive, either.

Hi,

Any luck with putting another drive inside?

[63VDub]

Running another drive inside the machine currently. I'm talking to Toshiba to see if they will warranty the drive for 3 years like they do on bare drives instead of one year like the rest of the lpatop. Warranty expired 4 weeks ago.

Hate when issues pop up mysteriously right after the warranty expires. Let me know what they say.
