Hi there,

i ve got 2 laptops infected with this 0w.com, i nearly tried everything

what i ve reached is that the virus copies itself on all the hard disk partitions, and if u even formated a partition, once format is done it gets infected again

the virus file is applied as hidden and can't be deleted even through the dos

no known anti-virus or antispyware was able to remove

i think the only way is to use the recovery utility of ur pc to reformat all the partitions and new windows installation

i m still trying by all means but every single way i used have failed

any other apparant solutions
