Hi all,

I have an office notebook that got infected by Win32.Alman.bb (detected by Avira). It infects .exe files in the notebook, even the Hijackthis too. Even though I connect to the network, none of my friends complained about getting infected too by the virus.

Each time I start the notebook, a couple of hours later, Avira detect the virus infects .exe files, even though Avira has quarantined those infected .exe files. When I plugged USB drive to the notebook, and then unplugged it and plugged it to my friend's notebook, he said that my USB drive is clean. He's scanned it with Microsoft Security Essentials.

The problem lies when my Windows corrupted. Since I have 3 partitions in the notebook, I only format the system drive. However, since the virus has infected .exe in all partitions, will my newly formatted system get infected too?

Regards,

Durz

Yes it will sounds like you have more of a worm then a virus as a virus is usually not self propogating, simply deleting the infected files is usually not enough as it is often times hidden in other files startup files and registry and such to allow it to be run every time your computer starts.

I would suggest looking at tools like Ccleaner and malware bytes and comodo antivirus and such and doing a very intense scan on the system.
