Serious System error after trying to remove Trojan

Unread postby Punter » January 13th, 2011, 1:21 am

Greetings,

I foolishly tried to remove a Trojan from my infected 'puter myself and it just recovered from a serious system error. Windows could not recieve the report because it was corrupt.
The error report is here:

BCCode : 100000d4 BCP1 : AD0D4FFC BCP2 : 000000FF BCP3 : 00000000
BCP4 : 80545B4F OSVer : 5_1_2600 SP : 3_0 Product : 256_1

I am running XP (SP3). The problem began when AVG Resident Shield began warning me repeatedly of an IE infection 'Patched.GB' Stupidly I followed the instructions given on this thread of your esteemed forum without any help from you folks:

Re: Serious System error after trying to remove Trojan

Unread postby askey127 » January 14th, 2011, 9:34 am

Punter,
In all likelihood, you contracted a Bamital infection from the use of the P2P program utorrent.
This infection corrupts critical system files and possibly the Master Boot record of the hard drive, and can prevent booting the machine.
You have already detected enough defective system files that fixing it in its current state by online methods is NOT going to be feasible.
System restore will not likely fix the machine either, even if you could invoke it.

You will need to try using the correct F key at bootup and run a Dell full System Recovery.
This process will put the machine back to the state when it was first purchased.
You will need your User manual (or contact Dell) to determine which is the correct F key to press at bootup

Any alternate option such as "System Repair" will not work for this infection.
If you cannot get the boot menu to come up to allow a System Recovery, you will need your Dell Windows boot CD to bring up the boot menu.
If you don't have the Dell CD, you may be able to get one from Dell.

The only other option is to reformat the drive and obtain a legal retail version of a Windows CD to re-install.

I appreciate the reply Askey127. I just recently downloaded utorrent, so I think your diagnosis is spot on. The computer is still operational, so I have been madly backing up my important files to an external HD. Last night I got a blue screen warning me of a fatsys error so I assume my hard drive is corrupted. It is high time I upgrade to Win 7 so I think I will go that route. The computer is a Dell Vostro 410 quad core q6600 with 2GB RAM at present. Do you by any chance know of a good link to instructions on performing a clean install of Win 7 using the upgrade disk? Would you recommend going to 64bit (I know I will need to install more RAM first)? Lastly, what is the safest route to ensure my external hard drive is clean prior to reconnecting it once I have installed the new OS? Thanks again.

64 bit Win 7 is a good choice, but there may be a few 32 bit apps that won't install.
If you get Win7, either order Win7 Pro, or have a low cost upgrade path available to Win7 Pro.
(Lower versions of Win7 do not allow the terrific XP mode to be installed.)
An upgrade disk will only upgrade to a version of Windows the same as you have now. XP Home => Win7 Home, etc.

If you don't have XP Pro, you would also need to buy the Anytime upgrade to get the Pro version.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/wind ... me-upgrade
Stores offer this anytime upgrade at discounts.
When Win7 is installed it can completely reformat the drive from the installation disk.
Installation is easy-just follow the instructions given when the Win7 DVD boots.

The Pro version will allow the free XP Mode to be installed separately, so your older programs will all work.
Plan on installing WinXP Mode on the 64-bit machine, and install any reluctant old apps or peripherals from inside the virtual XP there. You will need 4Gb RAM to do this.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtua ... nload.aspx

The only problems I had were an Avery labelmaking software, an older HP inkjet, and a software compiler. They are all running in XP mode now. All other apps I had installed directly into Win7 x64 with no problem.

Hope that helps. Sorry for the news.
Be sure to scan any backup DVDs, etc. before installing in a new machine. After you install Win7 and a good AV like Antivir, just have it scan the external drive before you copy any files over from it. Right click the drive letter and choose scan with Antivir.
