L'arc was not mentioning Kaspersky Antivirus but a small program by Kaspersky to get rid of the malware.  So, please follow his instruction.

 If you have any important files, I am suggesting you to back up them onto a clean USB Flash Disk since the best way to eliminate Sality completely is by a PC reformat. If we reformat the PC, everything on your HD would be gone. I asked you to perform those disinfection steps before to eliminate most of what we can, not to completely disinfect the PC. That way would help you get a better back up process and less hassle/errors, just less. Sorry but, this is all I could do to help.

Sorry, I guess you were right he was mentioning that you should reformat PC and start over since Salty is so nasty.  Alternatively, you may like to wait till some people with more specialist knowledge come to this forum.

PS @L'arc, if you think I misunderstood you, you can point it out.  I thought you had gone off line.  It is hard for me to read your comments since the smaller fonts.

Hi ladygaga,
If the virus has infected (and continues to infect) more of the files in your computer, it may soon infect everything.
If you have important documents, pictures etc that can not be easily replaced, you should make a copy of it to a flash drive or CD's.
It is possible you will have to reformat and reinstall Windows. (Do you have the Windows CD?)

Reformat basically wipes everything from the computer hard drive. The virus included.(Your pictures/files/bookmarks/emails also.You loose the lot.)
I strongly recommend you follow the steps posted earlier, to run the extra tools suggested, and report what they find. It will give an idea of how widespread the virus is.
Windows 10,Windows Firewall,Firefox w/Adblock.

Hmmm...  @L'ark  Are you sure that the malware was so nasty...?  I'm not a specialist but it seems to be O.K...  Of course, to be sure, reformatting is probably the best way, though.

Rumpel,

 Sality was very nasty, umm, I believe, devastative would be the better word to describe it since it may have been removed yet it leaves your computer damaged due to file infections.

 Hearing the word about messenger.exe and jqsnotify.exe being oddly gone could be a possible sign of spread of the infection. Anyhow, it would always be best to have a second opinion from someone else so I guess, it would better if we consider waiting for other ideas about this.

 Thank you for your help.

PS: Sorry, I can't keep up with the time. Good night to everyone.

L'arc messenger.exe and jqsnotify.exe is gone because avast detected it that it is infected and deleted it  when i have the boot scan so thats why it was gone



GOOD NIGHT TOO

I see.  Thank you, L'arc, good night.


@ladygaga345  I guess it all depends on you now.  I'd go for reformatting but if you are sure it's gone, you may like to download Windows Messenger and Java, you can download them:

http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

They may not work if other files are damaged, though.

Also, it would be suitable for you to get rid of the remains of Panda and Norton.

As for Panda, please search the net with words "Panda Uninstall" and pick up an appropriate version from the official site.

I took it wrong.  Ladygaga345 must have let the computer through online Panda and Kaspersky scan, which won't conflict against Avast!.

Alternatively, you may like to wait till some people with more knowledge visit this forum.
