I had a Dell XP Home system that was infected with the Trojan.Vundo virus. I tried the Symantec removal tool but there was 1 dll in the System32 folder, gebcd.dll that it would not delete.
I booted to a DOS prompt and navigated to the System32 director to delete the file. It would not delete. I did the ATTRIB command and there were NO attributes for that file. I did a DIR ge*.dll and the file shows up but if I did a DIR gebcd.dll the file wwas not found.
I donloaded INSERT and configured it to boot from a USB drive. All the stuff I read on it said I woudl have full Read Write access to the NTSF partition. I mounted the Drive and navigated to the System32 directory, highlighted the file, clicked DELETE, and was told the file was read only!!!!.
I downloaded DSL and made that boot from a USB drive but it will not allow you to write toa NTSF partition only FAT or FAT32!!!
I also tried Knoppox with the same problem as INSERT!!!!
Finally at 2am I managed to use a combination of SpySweeper and the Symantec Vundo removal tool to get rid of the gebcd.dll.
Everything I read said that INSERT should have been able to to DELETE the dll so I dont know if I had it set up correctly or not.
DSL and INSERT run really well from USB keys. Anyone have a write up of the easiest way to make a USB key bootable? I went round and round for hours trying to get it to work!!!!
I am trying to get more Linux time but Windoze is keeping me busy and paying the bills!!!!!
