has anyone heard about one virus called Brontox..(its originally from Indonesia)..my PC was kena by this virus already..this virus is quite genius, i'm unable to deal with any anti virus software in my PC (my previous Norton 2004 cannot to detect this virus, thus i tried to install another anti virus, but cant, this virus is well protecting itself)..

here the symptoms,

i cannot unhide my hide folder

automatically got extra folder named as the original folder (exe file)

windows suddenly restart by itself

cannot open or download, even search any anti virus website..

email?..i think u all here knows about it..


now, i cannot:

installed any new anti virus software

download anti virus software from internet

put command on regedit, also cannot..

i cannot deal with any anti virus software becos of this..

now have to format my pc, so that i can install the lates anti virus software, then i can destroy this virus if its happend to me again..

Actuaklly, there are Brontox removers out there. But since you have formatted, probably there is no need for it anymore then.

This virus is quite popular. My sister is also hit by this one, and a friend who works at a nearby university has to clean up nearly 200 PCS in the labs there.
