Recuva

Cheers,

I'm a french user of Recuva and never had problem with this soft. I'm using last up to date version.

Yesterday I suffured a malware or virus attack that have been stopped by Antivir (deny access).

But now when I use Recuva I have an alert saying " Impossible de lire le secteur de boot" (can't read boot sector).

My PC looks clear (no virus found) and is still booting correctly ... what can I do to make Recuva working well ? I tryed to reinstall Recuva but nothing changes.

Thanks for your help and hints.

Perhpas it may be an idea to post a hjt log in the 'spyware hell' part of the forum here just in case there is still something hiding on your computer

I'll try to do so in a close futur (not at home at the moment)... but I think it's much more a boot sector troubleshooting subject than a viral one.

What do you think of a fixboot command or any boot fixing (keeping in mind I only have boot problem with Recuva, my PC is still booting well) ?

Hi everybody,

The problem is fixed.

The boot.ini sector was infected with TDSS trojan that prevented Recuva to scan.

The malware have been remooved ( with great difficulties!) Recuva is now working well.

Thanks

Glad you are sorted now. :)

Should you have anymore virus/trojan problems please do not hesitate to contact our spyware hell part of the forum
