Staff shadowwar Posted September 15, 2011 Staff ID:476175 Share Posted September 15, 2011 We do not disinfect ramnit infections. Any good antivirus can but i would recommend using a rescue cd instead of your live environment to do this with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gymbo Posted September 15, 2011 Author ID:476396 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I am concerned that if I connect my external hard drive to my laptop if the external drive is infected, it may infect my laptop. From what I have read, one of the ways Ramnit spreads is through external data attachements.I have BT Netprotect which is provided in conjunction with Macafee, but I am not sure if BT are capable of dealing with anything remotely technical and would appreciate some guidance.A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing and I have a little knowledge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
