Hi
After getting the backdoor.tidserv!inf infection , I have attemted to follow the instuctions as per the NAV centre. I got stuck on the Recovery console instructions:
- Insert the Windows XP CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
- Restart the computer from the CD-ROM drive.
- Press R to start the Recovery Console when the "Welcome to Setup" screen appears.
- Select the installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console.
- Enter the administrator password and press Enter.
- Type CD System32
- Press Enter
- Type Expand %DriveLetter%\i386\advapi32.dl_
- Press Enter
- Type exit
- Press Enter. The computer will now restart automatically
Step 8 is the confusing one for me as I do not know EXACTLY what to type????? Subsequently my machine "seems" to be running fine and NAV is not picking up anything but when I tried to run a defrag and chck for disk errors, I received a message saying that the NTFS boot sector is unreadable! I am thinking that this is a result of not completing the Recovery console step when removing the virus.
Please can someone help me as I have battled for 12 hours now. A month ago fossy710 had a similar problem but I do not know if that solution will be the same for me
Look forward to your expert advice
Paul
