I've got viruses
I've got viruses
#1
I ran a deep scan of my computer last night, while in safe mode, and came up with two trojans and a virus (so far, the scan is at about 75% complete right now, so there may be more. ). Once the scan finishes, I'm going to drop the trojans; Cosmu and SuspectCRC into quarantine and then deleting them, but I'm a little unsure of what to do with the virus. It's Onehalf, which according to the small amounts of research I've been able to do via iPod and 'borrowed' wifi, slowly encrypts up to half the hard drive, and deleting it without unencrypting the data results in the data being lost. Would putting Onehalf into quarantine result in the data loss, or is that only when it is deleted. Also, I found a program on softpedia that purports to be able to decrypt the data then delete the virus. ( http://www.softpedia.com/...eHalf-virus-killer.shtml ) Any ideas on if I should quarantine Onehalf or not, and/or use this program? Thanks in advance.
