Dcorb Posted August 31, 2010 ID:307565 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Hi this is my first time posting on the site. I have been trying to figure out how to delete the win32/ramnit.a virus on my computer, but I am having no luck. I have tried using Nod32 and it will pick it up but won't clean it off my computer. I have also tried Malawarbytes, and Ad-aware. Nothing seems to stop it. I am not sure what I need to include with this post. Thanks in advance.

Staff screen317 Posted September 1, 2010 Staff ID:307707 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Hi and welcome to Malwarebytes.Ramnit is a file infector, and if you have already been infected by it, your files are compromised.If you have the means to format your computer and reinstall Windows, I highly recommend that you do so.

Staff screen317 Posted September 3, 2010 Staff ID:308672 Share Posted September 3, 2010 As a security professional, I will not give you an option that leaves your computer compromised. I implore you to format and reinstall. Is there a reason you cannot? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff screen317 Posted September 7, 2010 Staff ID:310506 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Those should be fine to use.What exactly do the disks say on them? That will determine how we should use them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff screen317 Posted September 9, 2010 Staff ID:311404 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Does your Dell have a built-in recovery partition? If so, that should be used instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
