Hi, there,

I am running on vista. My PC was attacked a virus called "AV security ****" (I do not remember full name).
After I removed it using Malwarebyte in safe mode under direction form bleepingcomputer.com,
I restarted the system, after log in everything is fine,
but everything on the desktop was lost.
when I open my computer C: is readable but I can not read Local drive D.
I can see the D: is there and has around 10G data on it, but it is in light black color and looks like it is not active.
How can I get D: readable and copy data on it.

Can somebody help.

Thank you.

Hi there it looks as though you have had a partial removal

Download RogueKiller to your desktop

  • Quit all running programs
  • For Vista/Seven, right click -> run as administrator, for XP simply run RogueKiller.exe
  • When prompted, type 6 and validate
  • The RKreport.txt shall be generated next to the executable.
  • If the program is blocked, do not hesitate to try several times. If it really does not work (it could happen), rename it to winlogon.exe
Please post the contents of the RKreport.txt in your next Reply.

THEN

Download OTL to your Desktop
  • Double click on the icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted.
  • Select All Users
  • Under the Custom Scan box paste this in
    netsvcs
    %SYSTEMDRIVE%\*.exe
    /md5start
    explorer.exe
    winlogon.exe
    Userinit.exe
    svchost.exe
    /md5stop
    C:\Windows\assembly\tmp\U\*.* /s
    CREATERESTOREPOINT
  • Click the Quick Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.
  • When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.
  • Post both logs
