My $#@!! kid turned off the firewall (again) and downloaded something
with a nasty malware called W32/Gaelicum.A

Its infected virtually every .exe file in both my server and my
personal computer. Im posting from my non-networked laptop.

It only effects flles with a .exe extension, but thats thousands of
files on all 4 computers on the network. There is very little info on
the net about it, AVG has only been able to detect it for a week or
so.

It appears to be a trojan of some sort.

Anyone got any suggestions of cleaning the sumbitch, other than a full
hard drive format..which means I have to format at least 14
drives...sigh

Just a heads up on the format option (should that be the rout that you
take);

Be sure to go the extra step and F Disk the drive too.
I have found that many PC Pelages will manage to dodge the format
attack, but cannot dodge the F Disk assault.


"F Disk"??

What is this?

Where do I find out more about it?



it is spelled wrong it is fdisk .
TSS

doesn't exist under Windows XP, but then gunner said he is running
linux.
