Basically a full wipe is really the only way to successfully get rid of a "RAT." If it's scripted good, anyways. I think malwarebytes has a good portable.

Recommended portable antivirus scanners budd:

AVG Portable
http://www.pendriveapps.com/avg-anti-virus-rescue-usb/

(detects most spyware/malware files + macro/polymorphic/logic viruses that aim for the boot sector and winlogon.exe file)

Malwarebytes
http://portable.bg/en/portable-system-apps/1080-malwarebytes-anti-malware-portable-15111800

(Same as AVG + detects all spyware, malware, viruses and trojans that mainly infect the registry, boot sector and system folder files)


I always use those at work. Both work great. If you had to pick one then it would be Malwarebytes. If you want the full version for AVG portable send me a PM :smile:

How would I wipe my hard drive for windows vista, Would I need to use a CD after or something.
yea man, its just an .iso file or if you wanna buy the disk. i would suggest checking out the piratebay for the needed files. maybe you could even install windows 7 if your computer spec is high enough

Do what Digital said, install Malwarebytes on his computer, and run it. It'll be one of the best things you can do. Make sure it updates and everything, then run all 3 scan types, and it'll find everything it could possible find.

Boot into *Nix and fix it there. There are a bunch of Linux distros built for that type of stuff (What comes to mind is Kaspersky's, but there are others)

I can't do that because it won't let me online to update it but when I got avast on there it was almost finished then it closed it down and I think I am going to wipe my hard drive because I'm getting blue screens.

Do a System Restore bro. No need for you to wipe the entire harddrive.

like KN1GHTH4WK429 said if I do have a restore point in which I don't so that is not a option so I have to go with Weedplz's way and check on piratebay on my friends computer and hopefully I'm not screwed :smile:. Thanks everyone for the help ill check back in if I have any problems.

Then use a System Recovery Disk. If you don't have one of those then do a full harddrive wipe. Yea, most of the time a full system restore would be the best choice because at times a recovery disk and restore point wont help at all, it just depends on how critical your system is messed up. Good luck man and hope you get everything working right =]

EDIT: I just scrolled up and read your post at the beginning and you were inquiring for a harddrive restore so I apologize :smile: I wasn't aware of what you were inquiring budd :smile:
