whew, that was a smart one!
funny how u insert a jumpdrive with antivirus installation files there and they disappear right in front of your eyes.
so i knew i had to use a CD so virus can not alter its content.
that’s what i did.
i have tried dr.web cure it bootable cd first, it found like 5 ites, deleted them, but nothing got fixed. my system was still acting same way: i had my registry access disabled, no internet connection and no antivirus software would get installed. ZoneAlarm (which i generally like a lot) was installed but patched by virus and it wasn’t working.
sheer fun..
so the thing that helped me was SalityKiller.exe utility from Kaspersky. It found the stupid sality in about every program i had on my pc and cured it. Now im back online and didnt need to format my drive which im very happy about.

I have had this bloody virus on & off now for 6 months, I took out all my flash and HDD drives and used an external USB to PATA/SATA kit to plug them into a comp at work that had mcafee installed (and running) in order to clean them (still had to reinstall OS) and after being free of this virus for a month, last night I pluged my Nokia N85 into my comp in “mass storage mode” (aka flashDrive mod) and BAMM reinfected (this comp is not online and has no anti-virus).
so if any1 knows who or where this virus came from pls tell me so I can get a flight to there city hunt them down, torture (for as many hours as I have been f##ked by this virus) and then dump them by the road somewhere, thanx

After ur pc infected by sality u can’t use your antivirus(setup)..
i suggest u using NOD 32.. it not only quarantine but it can prevent .exe for been delete(silent)…

no need to formatting..

hi every1..actually i had experience on this such virus Win.32.Sality…..i infected all my software that .exe programs….

it can infect all .exe programs that you keep in your hardisk and your pendrive…

so alternate ways you have to burn on cd basic software especially your anti virus from a very clean pc…
its not infect .rar or .zip files…

after you format the OS partition with a new fresh copy of windows all you need to do is dont ever2 open your other partition like D,E,F or your external hardisk,your pendrive,flashdrive,wherever it is you keep your software…

try to connect to the internet and download a fresh copy of antivirus i suggest here ‘Avira Antivir’…you can download them at filehippo.com or anywhere else…

then after installed the antivirus all you need to do is right click the partition and scan with avira…
if found any just click ‘repair’ and
‘ok’…

or you guys can try ComboFix.exe if you dont want to replace a new system OS…just double click and wait until it reboot and finish…

We have this virus and a lot many other virusses in our common office pc and whenever i swap a usb between that old computer (in our office we call it the prostitute) and our laptops, the laptops risk getting these.

My free Awast usually catches them and recommends moving them to chest. Since these are unimportant files i do that. Though the free Avira was very good too, I had an infection even with that running.

That is one of my problem regarding with my pc. I am using currently AVAST antivirus but seems it is not effective.

But SauroS I’m sure there’s no full proof alternative for formatting that particular drive.
And repairing the file just doesn’t help. I feel sality is a stubborn virus!

See guys, Kaspersky or AVAST or any other anti-virus will not work for this one. Sure they will detect it if ur virus database is up-to-date. But hte only option they give u is either delete the file or quarntine it. Both options are worthless as deleting or moving the infected .exe file will render the applciation useless.
I have a sor tof solution, which i tried on my system and worked pretty neat.

1. First get the latest versiion of Avira Antivirus Personal Edition. This wont be a problem since its a free program. But before u take it to the infected system, zip (or rar) it.

2. Hopefully u have Winrar on the system. From my experience, u can still unrar a file from context menu. (Right click options).

3. Unrar the Avira ab\ntivirus and without wating a sec, install it.

4. After installing, it will give the option of repairing or deleting the infected file. Choose repair.
Cleaning the whole system may take some time.

5. Also u can try this program.
