So I'm in the middle of working through this virus, and I'm not quite sure what I've got. It won't allow me to access my registry, run any anti-virus software, or even navigate to any anti-virus website (although I figured out how it was doing that). What I have been able to run tells me I'm infected with the W32.Jeefo virus, which can't be it, because according to everything I've read about that one, it's not a very effective virus. This one smacks of MyDoom, but I don't know. It's really killing me... Any ideas?
You can usually get around the registry blocking programs by copying regedit.exe as something unrelated, like abc.com, and executing that from a command prompt. The newer versions of W32.Beagle require this. (ABC to defeat "regedit" keyword executable blocking, and *.com because some of the virii will run resident on *.exe's but not *.com's). I've dealt with a few virus packages that combnine multiple virii with spyware and other crap, so you would want to think about using adaware from safe mode.
Thanks. I'll give that a try when I get home. I've figured out how to get past the first couple lines of defense, but this is a very well written virus... heh... So far I've found 3 separate viruses, although like you say I believe they were all inserted simultaneously...
