Hi, I had a topic here before and I had a backdoor trojan and a high risk spyware called something like bargains bundle burgandy To make sure I got rid of it, I reformated my computer. Before doing so though, I saved a few my documents files and a few songs on my USP and my internet favorites. If I put them back on, do I risk getting reinfected? bump

If I put them back on, do I risk getting reinfected?

If they were infected, sure. They will still be infected.

How do I know if my my documents files were infected?

Scan them with your anti-virus program or scan them here:

Please go to http://virusscan.jotti.org , click on Browse, and upload the following file for analysis:

PUT FILE LOCATION HERE

Then click Submit. Allow the file to be scanned, and then please copy and paste the results here for me to see.


If Jotti is too busy you can try these.

The fIle I need to scan is 533 MB, the max on the top 2 sites are 10 MB and 1MB. I am uploading to the 3rd site but don't think it will work! I scanned it with AVG Spyware and AVG Virus Scanner but those can't be good enough themselves, can they?

Ok, thanks, but before I reformated AVG did not detect the backdoor trojan that infected my computer. Should of stated that forgot sorry.

I really don't know what to tell you as far as that goes.
Guess you can re-install those and run a online scan.

Lets run an F-Secure online scan it will scan for Viruses, Spyware and RootKits:
  • Click HERE
  • Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Start scanning button. A window will pop up.
  • Allow the Active X control to be installed on your computer, then click the Accept button
  • Click Full System Scan and allow the components to download and the scan to complete.
  • If malware is found, check Submit samples to F-Secure then select Automatic cleaning
  • When cleaning has finitished, click Show report (this will open an Internet Explorer window containing the report)
  • Highlight and Copy (CTRL + C) the complete report, and Paste (CTRL + V) in a new reply to this post
If Automatic cleaning with Submit samples hangs, click Cancel, then New Scan
  • When the cleaning option is presented, Uncheck Submit samples to F-Secure
  • Click Automatic cleaning
  • When cleaning has finitished, click Show report (this will open an Internet Explorer window containing the report)
  • Highlight and Copy (CTRL + C) the complete report, and Paste (CTRL + V) in a new reply to this post

Note: This scan will only work with Internet Explorer.
You must be logged on a administrator rights to run this scan.
The scan may take a few hours.

It runs 100% fine.
I don't believe it's infected at the moment, I just reformated :) I think those were just tracking cookies the spyware it said.
Thx for the help ^_^
