USB Bootable DOS AntiVirus for Unbootable Windows XP and Vista

November 10, 2008 · Filed Under Security · Comment 

You can’t boot into Windows because of a Virus, Trojan, Spyware or Malware? The catch is, how do you remove the virus without formatting your computer because of all the important files in your C drive? Yesterday I received a comment from a reader in one of my previous post and it says:

Hello! I guess I have downloaded the virus version because since I have download it I cannot turn my computer on anymore, it keeps telling me that there is a problem with a new software and that I should put my windows disc in and repair my computer. Does someone know what to do?
Thanks!

How does one go about fixing, repairing and rescue unbootable windows without formatting? In situation like this, one can enter ’safe mode’ during the loading of windows and remove the virus or trojan, however, there is a small percentage where the virus has infected all the important windows files required for a successful loading of ’safe mode’, thus causing windows to restarting every time you load ’safe mode’, to resolve this unbootable problem, you’ll need a bootable DOS Anti Virus.

Hiren’s All in one Dos Bootable CD which has all the required utilities and one of them is McAfee Antivirus 4.4.50 (2909) a virus scanner with ntfs support and easy to use menu.

What is a Keylogger? According to Wikipedia:

Keystroke logging (often called keylogging) is a method of capturing and recording user keystrokes. The technique and name came from before the era of the graphical user interface; loggers nowadays would expect to capture mouse operations too. Keylogging can be useful to determine sources of errors in computer systems, to study how users interact and access with systems, and is sometimes used to measure employee productivity on certain clerical tasks. Such systems are also highly useful for both law enforcement and law-breaking—for instance, providing a means to obtain passwords or encryption keys and thus bypassing other security measures. Keyloggers are widely available on the Internet.

It is no secret that Symantec, McAfee and Trend Micro, the three leading Anti Virus software has a detection rate of 80%, where else unknown or up and coming anti virus vendor has a higher detection rate, the reason is because virus authors are specifically testing their Trojans and viruses to make sure their malware can bypass these antivirus before releasing them, therefore, your chance of being infected is higher.

Kaspersky anyone?
