I have just recovered from this infection... it took down about 50 .exe files and I have now wiped the computer using the restore discs - it now seems to be clean. I did manage to salvage my important documents and burn them onto a CD-R - they are all .doc, .ppt or .xls files, definitely no .exe ones. What I want to know is, is there a chance the Vitro worm could be on that disc somehow, and if it is, what is the best way to rescue my files without letting Vitro back in, as I really need those documents back!
Also I have a couple of momory sticks that I think have been plugged in since I've had this virus. Could these ben infected, and if so is there any way to disinfect these, or should I just dispose of them lest they let Vitro back into my system?
Finally, I get my internet wirelessly, and the computer attached to the router (apologies for lack of proper terminology!), while not actually networked to my infected PC, is now showing as having a virus. I don't know whether this is Vitro or something that's actually possible to remove. Could Vitro somehow have spread wirelessly to the router and thence to this computer, even though there is no network connection between the two computers?
Sorry for all the questions, but this has ruined my computer and I want to make sure I don't let it back in or lose the second PC to it!
