I have a motherboard that I tried to install a linux cd on and apparently the website I got it from was a virus. And is really bad really really bad, and i've never seen anything like it. I have tried every virus protection Every thing (kaspersky rescue etc.). Norton Rescue won't even boot, Rootkit rescue (TDSSKiller Kaspersky etc.) and rescue disks that exsts.(Hirens Resue etc.) I reset the Bios Etc. And is still the same. I know it has to be something worse than an average virus like a rootkit. I know it affects the graphics because when it boots something like puppy linux theres sometimes lines on the screen and graphics trouble. It's like I clean smaller viruses and then it hatches out again into everything, and then won't boot at all.

Maybe I'm not using TDSkiller properlyy

 

It deffinatly seems to affect my graphics like it reinstalls a phoney graphics driver in my Bios. Works for a while and then spreads through my hard drive (hides?) when I try rescue disks or antivirus.

 

I bought new ram and have already tried replaceing it. The only conclusion is that the virus has reprogrammed my ram and put a virus on my ram and then reprograms my other ram until both is infected like a common cold. Is this possible? I am afraid of putting the ram into my other motherboards, that they will catch the virus too like catching a cold.

Or is it a root kit that I can't fix?

RAM doesn't hold onto data without power.

 

How many drives do you have connected to the infected machine?

 

Do you have another, clean machine, which you can use to clean the infected drives?

if you want a free computer virus download CCleaner or Speccy, you can get Avast imbedded in your system and its basically as bad as a actual virus, very effective for destroying your relative performance

 

Spoiler

just save files you need, and wipe OS, completely reinstall, sorry there isn't a easier solution.  Once you've done this a few times you'll realize its not actually that bad, really easy

I compltely clean the drive with hirens rescue every time i try to fix it. i know it has done something like reprogramed the graphics driver with a phony one or something like that. the problem is none of the rescue disks or rootkit programs work and there is no oher way of fixing it. I've tried everything, reset the bios and flashed the bios, everything.
