virus took over
My brother-in-law's computer has a virus on it named 'tr/crypt.xpack.gen.'
How can this virus be removed? He did not update his computer for a while. The virus prevents the mrt.exe file from opening. Thank you, David |

virus took over
From: "titus12"
| My brother-in-law's computer has a virus on it named 'tr/crypt.xpack.gen.' | How can this virus be removed? He did not update his computer for a while. | The virus prevents the mrt.exe file from opening. | | Thank you, | David Since the name contains "TR/...", it is not a virus, it is a Trojan. Have you tried renaming MRT.EXE, such as; MRT-TUTUS12.EXE, and then execute it ? Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL -- http://www.pctipp.ch/ds/28400/28470/Multi_AV.exe http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp English: http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/...irus-for-free/ To use this utility, perform the following... Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS } Choose; Unzip Choose; Close Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS } NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files. C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS} This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal Mode. This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor's web site. The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and Reboot the PC. You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you can download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded the files needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode [F8 key during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run in Safe Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode. When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive PDF help file.
