I Love Lamp Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Make sure you do a complete wipe of your hard drive then. I can't remember the win7 installer very well, but usually it gives you an option to overwrite or reformat: go with reformat. It will delete your entire hard drive, so make sure you back up critical files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will delete your entire hard drive, so make sure you back up critical files. A good binary wipe also never hurt anyone. Just make sure you scan the files you backup before restoring them into your environment. No use in having your everything corrupted.

Cr(+)sshair Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 The best way to completely rid of the virus is to get a HDD tool thaat you can boot from bios. You want a full magnetic wipe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandium Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 The best way to completely rid of the virus is to get a HDD tool thaat you can boot from bios. You want a full magnetic wipe! Exactly. Run a large magnet around your HD. This will extract all the viruses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaMigra Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 @ lack..... Yeah u backed up all my important files (pr0n) to my second hdd and I'm about to do a complete restore...

Wingless Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Exactly.Run a large magnet around your HD. This will extract all the viruses. Lawl. Hiren's tools (provided you have licenses for the software, of course) has a good variety of low level tools that you can binary write the whole drive and even zero the MBR if you want to. A little paranoia never hurt anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Love Lamp Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Just fill your room with electronic degaussing loops, so when you want to wipe your hard drive you can just throw a switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkplanner Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Exactly.Run a large magnet around your HD. This will extract all the viruses. Thats how you do it. And if that doesn't work, try using a couple of C4's to blow the virus out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
