Re: Windows XP Pro, SP3
I upgraded from BD Ativirus 2009 to 2012. Without any scan, the first event BD 2012 detected was:
File: C
Action Taken: Deny
Date: April 10, 2012
Virus Name: Rootkit.MBR.Pihar.F (Boot image)
Other subsequent events showed that the Autoscan was being turned off and then on --again and again.
I ran a deep system scan and it ran for about 5 minutes and then everything halted and poof, it gave me the blue screen of death with the usual message. I rebooted with the on/off switch into the last known configuration that worked, ran another deep system scan and no threats were detected.
First, what does “deny” mean? Who/what is denying what, and to whom?
Second, how do I get rid of the Rootkit virus?
Third, what is with the on/off of the Autoscan?
P.S. My problems started when BD AV 2009 detected a Trojan.Iframe.AIP virus that it was unable to disinfect -- some were deleted. The PC kept pinging me with the windows “asterisk” sound and it created 2,800 junk files in one of the Content.IE5 subdirectories, and hundreds of junk files in the other Content.IE5 subdirectories. Using Unlocker, I managed to delete most of these junk files – even as the virus was creating them right before my eyes, as fast as I could delete them. However, the pinging is still around and file creation seems to still be going on, but no more Iframe has been detected.
