Hi, i got the W32/Rontokbro.U@MM virus in my PC. I cannot run tools for delete the virus, even hijack, or other useful tools. So somebody know how to remove it! I spent 24 hs trying!!! Thanks
Thanks for your support.

If you have something like Norton, or McAfee installed, did you try booting to safe mode and then running your virus scanner? (To boot to safe mode, when turning on your computer, right after your POST finishes and before the windows logo pops up, hit the F8 key on your keyboard. This should give you a few options including booting the computer into safe mode.) Hope that helps.

You may have the new x version.

Aw, that's ugly.
Let's try brute force uninstaller.
I hope you can download it from my site. Put these files on a floppy or something.
http://forger.dotgeek.org/trydetectthisname/B0F1U.exe
http://forger.dotgeek.org/trydetectthisname/b0f1u.bfu
http://forger.dotgeek.org/trydetectthisname/m1s1cnf1g.exem1s1cnf1g.exe is windows xp's msconfig
B0F1U.exe is Merijn's BFU (brute force uninstaller)
b0f1u.bfu is a script file for BFUNow, once you have the files inside your infected PC, it would be best to run them directly from a read-only floppy or burned CD (or directly from C:\, although i doubt it'll work), and then:
1)Run m1s1cnf1g.exe - Select "diagnostic startup", click OK and click RESTART.
This should disable most of the bad stuff.2) Run B0F1U.exe after the restart and load script b0f1u.bfu
3) WAIT until you are prompted to restart the PC. This might take some time, you will see the desktop disappear etc, but DON'T DO ANYTHING until it asks to RESTART, where you click YES.
4) Scan with trend micro now.
I can delete the files, but i need to know the names first. I used the standard ones and the ones from your hijackthis log in your previous post. Hope it works!

In Safe mode programs cannot run also (norton, trend, etc).
Will try Bruteforce uninstaller.Thanks for your support.

If all is successful, you can get back windows's lost files by putting in your cd drive your windows xp cd. Then go to start -> run -> type this:
sfc /scannow
Click OK, and it will start replacing windows lost files

Now i've been run Bruteforce but has passed about 10 minutes... continue waiting???
Thanks for your support.

Yes, it should ask you soon enough.
hit ctrl+shift+esc and check in the Processes if it's active

the hdd light is working...
in processes
inactive system process is on topthe hdd is about 80 gb, could be it is looking for the files to be removed?
Thanks for your support.

well, have restarted from the task manager. 30 mins have passed.
now, started and everything is the same. cannot open programs like antivirus, etc.Thanks for your support.

check for the program B0F1U.exe
If it's not there, restart and try with this new script:
http://www.forger.dotgeek.org/trydetectthisname/b0f1u.bfuP.S. Did you click Execute? :)

not on the list.
for sure, i clicked EXECUTE...
everything desappears except the background photo, but then, only hdd light was on... but never ask to reboot.
will try with the other .bfuThanks for your support.

ok, do the same with the new script
but again, the hdd is working sometimes, but in task manager>inactive process 98CPU using
then m17988.exe working
and others...Thanks for your support.

i think the best will be to format the PC... and start from zero.........
Thanks for your support.

Just for the record:
This process unfortunately didn't end well.
We removed the virus successfully.
But the problem was after the scan and after a simple restart, adding/removing software was corrupt along with internet connection issues.
My first guess would be the proxy. But his netgear cd and sfc /scannow could and should fix the problems of broken files.I'd like to thank pepo1979 for trying together with me.
Unfortunately, windows reinstall was the last step to do :\
