I've been fighting a Babylon9/Skoda root kit infection on my computer and server. I think it's gone, but I'm still being cautious. (Any tips appreciated)
I use AVG (paid version) and it twigged to the problem. A scan revealed the infection. AVG reported that files that were caught and put into the virus vault were too big to be deleted. I managed to get a couple deleted, but the rest remained.
A while back I discovered CCleaner (Free from FileHippo or Piriform). It has a registry cleaner. Out of frustration I ran it and it found many registry errors. Having been warned by CCleaner that I might cripple my computer, I deleted the noted errors. And rebooted. The computer came to life and I ran AVG set to look at everything on the HD. It found a clean machine. However running regedit and searching for 'babyl' found two references to Babylon9_setup, which I deleted.
The AVG people were great. Even sending me a couple of apps to gather info so I could send it back to them.
Have I missed anything?
Is there something else I should do?
Thanks
