Posted April 14, 201410 yr I run Microsoft Security Essentials and it is up to date; but somehow I still got infected with the following: Virus:Win32/Rovnix.Gen!C and Virus:Dos/Rovnix.gg. I've run the Security Essentials scan and downloaded and run Windows Defender Offline. I've also downloaded Defender to a USB drive and run it from there. Nothing seems to work getting rid of this Virus. The clean Pc action removes VirusWin32/Rovnix.Gen!C but it quarantines Dos/Rovnix.gg and returns the following error 0x80070032. It recommends that the software be removed immediately and lists the following: Items:Boot:\\.\physicaldrive0\partition1(NTFS) Unfortunately, I'm not sure what that means. It also gives the following reference which I haven't accessed yet: //go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid-142185=Virus:Dos/rovnix.gg&threatid=2147685821. I've also tried a system restore to an earlier point; but that didn't work either. Can someone help me get rid of this virus once and for all? The PC affected is a new Acer netbook running Windows 7 starter. Any help eliminating this virus would be appreciated. Thank you, Continue reading...
