Worm Win32.Netsky Slaying Journal…

by George on July 23, 2010

Had quite a day when my netbook is infected with this nasty worm… Win32.netsky. It was a fake worm by some pathetic anti-virus software company trying to cheat victims to buy their anti-virus.

So here’s the what I did to solve most of the problem (not 100%) solve but at least I can log into my computer.

1) Download Malwarebytes

2) Had a bootup thumbdrive with a win vista iso when I was stuck in the logon loop.

3) Run Malwarebytes several times..

There were more steps then this as there was many mistakes and wrong steps. The internet was so full of wrong information and the key was to find out what’s the right and wrong steps.

I may need a factory restore after this… Quite a big disrupt from my daily work but luckily it’s my netbook and I still got a main laptop and a mac book so they can’t kill me easily.
