First, here's my log

 

 

I 14:25:59 ImgBurn Version 2.4.4.0 started!

W 14:26:04 These drives will not be visible in the program.

W 14:26:04 No devices detected!

 

 

My drive has been working PERFECTLY for the last 6 months (6 months old), but today, when I need it, it fails on me. Dunno why, but I looked everywhere, and no where seems to help. I'm running an HL-DT-ST DVD RAM GSA-H55L drive. (LG).

 

I'm sorry that this is so urgent, but it REALLY is. I'm also running Imation brand DVD+R 16x here, and they've also always worked before. Thanks!!!

Hi and welcome to the forum, Sycoraxic98!

Yes, I know that, but 1, 2, AND 3 don't work :S

 

1 didn't do anything, 2 found stuff, but it didn't work, and 3 didn't work in the first place.

Might be that the virus has been released as a new updated extended more evil version than before.

 

You could try this one - it's free.

If none of the tools will find/clean the infection, rebuild your machine and don't download/run dodgy stuff next time.

 

You only have yourself to blame!

[Sycoraxic98]

But that's just the thing-it's not my fault!

 

As soon as Norton 360 expired, all the crap it was fighting got released! My little brother used this crap, and now I can't do this! I'm trying, though, as hard as I can.

This might apply to your case too -> http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtop...ost&p=99687

[Sycoraxic98]

I don't get that, as this is what RootRepeal says as soon as I start it:

 

Could not read the boot sector. Try adjusting the Disk Access Level in the Options dialogue.

 

Then:

DeviceIoControlError! Error Code = 0xc0000001.

 

Then, I can do nothing.

Then please do as chewy says here: http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtop...ost&p=99247

The guys over at the AII forum know a lot about this stuff, way more than we do

[Sycoraxic98]

They recommended Sophos Anti-Rootkit, which I'm using now. Dunno if it's gonna work well or not :S

[chewy]

Please download Sophos Anti-rootkit & save it to your desktop.

Note: If using the vendor's download site you will be asked to register with MySophos so an email containing an activation link can be sent to your email address.

 

Be sure to print out and read the Sophos Anti-Rookit User Manual and Release Notes.

• Double-click sar_15_sfx.exe to begin the installation, read the license agreement and click Accept.
  
• Allow the default location of C:\Program Files\Sophos\Sophos Anti-Rootkit and click Install.
  
• A message will appear "Sophos Anti-Rootkit was successfully installed. Click 'yes' to start it now". Click Yes.
  
• Make sure the following are checked:
  • 
    
  • Running processes
    
  • Windows Registry
    
  • Local Hard Drives
    

  [*]Click Start scan.

  [*]Sophos Anti-Rootkit will scan the selected areas and display any suspicious files in the upper panel.

  [*]When the scan is complete, a pop-up screen will appear with "Rootkit Scan Results". Click OK to continue.

  [*]Click on the suspicious file to display more information about it in the lower panel which also includes whether the item is recommended for removal.

  • Files tagged as Removable: No are not marked for removal and cannot be removed.
    
  • Files tagged as Removable: Yes (clean up recommended) are marked for removal by default.
    
  • Files tagged as Removable: Yes (but clean up not recommended) are not marked for removal because Sophos did not recognize them. These files will require further investigation.
    

  [*]Select only items recommended for removal, then click "Clean up checked items". You will be asked to confirm, click Yes.

  [*]A pop up window will appear advising the cleanup will finish when you restart your computer. Click Restart Now.

  [*]After reboot, a dialog box displays the files you selected for removal and the action taken.

  [*]Click Empty list and then click Continue to re-scan your computer a second time to ensure everything was cleaned.

  [*]When done, go to Start > Run and type or copy/paste: %temp%\sarscan.log

  [*]This should open the log from the rootkit scan. Please post this log in your next reply. If you have a problem, you can find sarscan.log in C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp\.

Before performing an ARK scan it is recommended to do the following to ensure more accurate results and avoid common issues that may cause false detections.

• Disconnect from the Internet or physically unplug you Internet cable connection.
  
• Clean out your temporary files.
  
• Close all open programs, scheduling/updating tasks and background processes that might activate during the scan including the screensaver.
  
• Temporarily disable your anti-virus and real-time anti-spyware protection.
  
• After starting the scan, do not use the computer until the scan has completed.
  
• When finished, re-enable your anti-virus/anti-malware (or reboot) and then you can reconnect to the Internet.
