Can someone tell me what does the following virus is?

Question

Virus: Win32:Sality-AM

It Has recently affected all my .exe files on my laptop. now my laptop is fu**ed.

Answer 1

It's a mind-controlling virus. When you run the .exe, the author is able to control the person that ran the file...

Answer 2

I would suggest that you get Avast Home Edition version 4,

which is free for personal use.

Avast is a very effective and free anti-virus program because it can do

a boot time scan in safe mode and it will remove the entire virus on your PC.

Even those viruses that hide inside the system restore folder.

Windows utilize a restore utility that backs up selected files

automatically to the System volume information /System Restore folder.

This means that an infected file could be stored there as a backup file,

and most anti-virus programs will be unable to delete these files. You

must disable the System Restore Utility to remove the infected files

from the folder if you use another brand of anti-virus. However, you do

not need to do so if you use Avast to do a boot up scan in safe mode.

Answer 5

If you are running ME, XP, or Vista, you need to disable System Restore and try an online scan such as Housecall or Eset Online Scanner This virus is more than 4 years old, and I think either of these will work for you.

Good luck!
