Hacktool.Rootkit Strikes Back
Hi all,
I have this machine hit by a hacktool.rootkit: I have an always-up-to-date Norton Antivirus 2006 that pops up a "Virus Alert" saying that the virus "was automatically deleted" whenever I try to open a partition(C: or D: ... etc.). Whenever I run a full system scan it says no threats are in the computer but it keeps behaving weird: a "Can't run 6-bit Windows program" message pops when the OS loads, Hidden Files and Folders cannot be shown (yes, I checked the Show box), partition opens in another window than the My Computer one, and it runs really slow. I've googled a lot of blogs to solve the probem and knew that the first thing to do is to turn off System Restore. What should I do then? Attached is the Hijack This! report.
P.S. The machine is not, and not likely to be, connected to the internet
Thanks.
