Recover Operating System After Virus Attack

[A Guy]

One of the problems that many computer users experience after a computer virus attack are changes to the system cause by the malicious software. This can for instance mean that system tools like the control panel or task manager do not open, that security permissions have changed, services or startup items have been added or modified or that processes run in the background that have been loaded by the virus.

It is sometimes impossible to fix the damage done to the system which means that in those cases only backups or new installations are an option. But most changes are not as severe. They can be fixed either by the antivirus software cleaning the malicious program or by a third party tool like Virus Effect Remover.

We have reviewed Virus Effect Remover in the past but it has evolved since then which is reason enough to take a new look at it.

The software is a specialized tool which becomes apparent after startup. There are lots of buttons and information displayed in the main interface from access to tools in the left sidebar to a tab driven interface that displays a processes tree and links to various tools that can be used to check and repair specific system settings, files and features.



The tools on this page allow a user for instance to scan services, startup locations, check system files, show suspicious files, generate a process list and about a dozens of others. And that only from the main tab.

The other tabs list autorun details, process details, files and folders options, unlocker, other tools and options. Some of those, like the files and folders options display another tab bar below which demonstrates the complexity of the program.

Virus Effect Remover links to various Microsoft Windows system tools like the Registry Editor, Group Policy Editor or MSConfig.

The program provides the user with many useful information about the operating system and controls to repair some of the damage that has been done by a computer virus.

To protect itself, some viruses disables some windows tools and functions like registry editor, update check, folder option, task bar, etc. Even if you remove the viruses from your PC, such issues may still persist because of registry errors.

Virus Effect Remover is a free tool that helps you removes and repairs/fix such effects of either a live virus or left-over by a virus. It can also detect and block auto run status of USB drives.

The new version has the following key features:

Easier to use NEW GUI interface, Buttons, Menus, and Tab pages.
New pages added for USB option, suspicious file, and enable/disable autorun.
Better NTFS Security details page.
New Tools, Windows Cleaner, File Protector, Clone Scanner, File delete
Quick links to Microsoft all Management Consoles (MMCs), and more.

Note that, this software is meant for advanced users only. The program supports Windows 7, Vista and XP and XP users’ required.NET framework 2 to run this app.

This tool's made by one of the people I used to talk to. It's a shame though, that I lost his email in loosing my 6zap account.

Yes, I like this tool a lot, it works even before the virus being removed and make the removal works much,much easier. The another alternative would be 'reenable' but this is the master one that I use usually.

[safeguy]

Saw this before...but didn't download. Since it's updated now, I might as well download it now...who knows when this might come in useful

[hellnoire]

ReEnable and Virus Effect Remover share a lot of the same general functions, however, there's key differences in how they're meant to be used. They both are amazing tools though, if you ask me.

seems to be a good program i use to use comand prompt to clean my pc
mostly to trace all the connections made to the net

try this dude turn of all the browsers and programs using internet and the open up cmd
and then type netstat -a -b
se if yu stil have outgoing connections thats one of them i have a whole list anyone whants i can share them anyways good share mate ima downlaod it now thanks

[tangomouse]

while programming re-enable i looked at virus effect remover and didnt find it effective at all ,i know it could be classed as a competitor and the same goes for RRT but to be honest i think re-enable v2 beats it hands down ,but you could say i am biased

[hellnoire]

RRT, yes, I could agree with, but VER was designed to be an OSS version of RRT.

Considering I'm using your tool, Tangomouse, I don't think you have to worry.

[safeguy]

VER requires installation (although you may use Universal Extractor to make it 'portable') whereas Re-Enable has an official portable version...that's an added advantage to Tango

And yes, Re-Enable looks simpler to use...I'd be better off recommending that to noobs instead of Virus Effect Remover
