Rootkits and Trojans :(
So i got under attack by viruses and they rewrote my drivers to include the virus in it. They rewrote my NIC Card drivers to the virus so avast picked it up and deleted it. But when i try to reinstall the drivers, it puts the virus back on there. sadly it did that to my mouse too so i am not able to get a log file w/o my mouse. So i tried backing up and deleting the driver cache files. But before i try to reinstall anything, i wanna make sure i dont get attacked by viruses again. so what im asking is does any1 know if me deleteing the cache in reisntalling it then will take the viruses out of the drivers.


ps. all the viruses are removed other than the viruses. Used UNHACKME & avast combo to remove rootkits.


Any help at all would be greatly appreciated! I am running many websites and i cannot access the server without that computer working! So thx ahead of time!
