HELP! I killed my computer with the help of win32/virut.a

This is the third time i have had a virus and i guess 3 times is a charm
since this is the only one that has me in tears.
AVG8.5 had found this virus and named it win32/virut but of course
could not remove it. so i went to run a hijack this and there was more
and more of them multiplying in my executables. so i went into safe mode
so get the virus to stop freezing everything i was trying to do to and
it and when i ran spy bot it found a butt load of these files and could
delete a few of them but said that the rest would be deleted upon start
up. so i ran a hijack this again and all of the files had the title
spybotdeleteblahblah so i decided since i could remove them better with
hijack i did. then when i restarted my computer everything was gone, my
login was different my desktop would not even show up so i went back
into safe mode and i keep getting all these errors that my links dont
work and everytime i run a program it cant find it or it freezes and
shuts down so then i tried to try to do a system restore and the exe for
system restore is gone deleted now and i think that all my other exe's
are gont too but the system restore pic is there just the exe is gone
please help!!!!!!! i dont know what to do!!!! ps i do not have the
reboot cd thingy

Anyone who gets a virus three times is too stupid to be using a
computer on the Internet.

 

what you might
do is to initiate
a system restore
point.

the older the better.

also, uninstall
that avg since it
is not working.

afterwards, run
this and select
full scan:

Sit tight and wait for more replies. Don't use you computer until then.
There are some very knowledgeable folks here that may have the answer you
are lookin for.

Try this download. You burn the image to a blank CD then boot the
infected machine to it; it clears out the malware without Windows
running so the malware can't get control. This is software from Avira.
I haven't seen it work yet, but they're improving on it and today might
be the day! It's a great concept; the malware can't get control and the
system running from the CD has complete control to eliminate all problems.

Just download the .exe rather than the ISO.

Other software you might run from a thumbdrive after downloading to an
uninfected machine:

SuperAntispyware
http://www.superantispyware.com/superantispywarefreevspro.html

McAfee Stinger
http://us.mcafee.com/virusInfo/default.asp?id=stinger

Kaspersky® AVPTool

Dr.Web CureIt!® Utility - FREE
http://www.freedrweb.com/cureit/

To get control of links and executables again, go to the following site
and run the fixes for .lnk, .exe and whatever else won't execute.
Fix File Associations.
http://dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm

Installing the drive in another machine, you could run different
programs and the malware couldn't get control either. Just don't run
anything on the infected drive.

Kelly's site has quite a few fixes. If you get rid of the malware, you
might get control again using her site:

wow do enjoy being totally useless? dont judge me when you have no
idea of my life or circumstances, ok maybe i have children who dont
really know how to use a computer that well and my avg and spybot and
adaware and firewall and security settings somehow failed me, maybe i
want installing a antivirus software that was incompatible with the
current software so i had to remove it before installing the other one
and the virus snuck in then, maybe i have a boyfriend who likes to
download games and isnt very careful the point is the first two i got
rid on on my own through just research and hard work but this is one
that i need help for....so before you start judging and being an ass you
should just keep your comments to yourself and now because of your
comepletely USELESS comment i have wasted 3 min of my life i will never
get back thank you

Like most stupid people, you blame your own behavior on others.

/* WIPE IT ! */

This is a true file infecting virus. This is not some oddball malware being falsely named
a virus. This is a NASTY VIRUS.

If you have the Virut Virus then the *best* recourse is to wipe the computer and
partitions and re-install the OS from scratch.

BTW: You said you used "spy bot". If this was SpyBot Search and Destroy, it is worthless
for a virus such as this. It targets non-viral malware and certainly NOT file-infectors.
The same goes for MBAM, SuperAntiSpyware, etc...

Nope. does not clean file-infectors such as the viurut virus.

Nope. does not clean file-infectors such as the virut virus. Its an anti worm tool and
the trojans associated with those worms.
However the McAfee Command Line Scanner will/does disinfect viruses from files.
