Reinstalled XP and didn't back up... - GoFuckYourself.com

Makingcoin · 01-04-2006, 11:26 AM

Was in a rush and missed one of the most important things on my pc.

Fucking depressed as shit right now.

All because of that stupid fucking trojan. I would love to get my hands on that mother fucker that built that nasty bug.

FiReC · 01-04-2006, 11:29 AM

damn no good, do you know how you got the trojan? is it some new shit out there i need to watch out for?

Lucky Strike · 01-04-2006, 11:31 AM

I had the same thing and I had to reinstall too.

You'll be able to get at least most of your stuff back by logging in as admin and retaking ownership and permissions on all files and folders under your old account. But, you'll have to reinstall your old programs.

I'd like to get their hands on this bastard too. They've wasted a week of my time, not to mention the other hundred thousand people plus they've done this to.

ServerGenius · 01-04-2006, 11:31 AM

There's a great piece of software with which you can make snapshots of your
hdd at any given time and burn it to disk. When something bad happens you
can just restore that snapshot. No reinstall of the OS, no restore of data, just
BAM! all done at once.

I forgot the name....I'll dig it up a bit later for ya

HorseShit · 01-04-2006, 11:36 AM

everyone should invest in external hard drives.. just picked up another seagate one myself.. USB 2.0 so fast as fuck also.. not to mention I can quickly swap files between my desktop and laptop and bring it anywhere, etc..

Sounds awesome. Bookmarking this thread now.

TheLegacy · 01-04-2006, 11:39 AM

I keep a 300 gig external drive to back up my data.. and have had the trojan problem a short time ago as well. Its shitty when someone thinks when creating it that it was going to be a good idea

Pilforgod · 01-04-2006, 11:40 AM

I got that trojan 4 days ago..didn't reinstall either =) I spent 10 hours using about 15 different programs to clean everything out and now my comp is clean as it ever was.

www.webroot.com = spysweeper one of the best
http://www.ewido.net/en/ = another great one
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3155.html (HackThis) = should be required on every comp
the new microsoft spysweeper works nice also.

If you get files you can't delete becaus they are in use, get a program called "Unlocker". With that installed you can delete anything.

If you didn't get hit you should go here ASAP and install the quick patch fix that will block it..and of course use firefox unlike my idiot self =)

I went out and bought at external yesterday and backed everything up to it, so I thought. I had a file in one of my program folders and this it did not save to the external. What a piece of work.

What was the file? sentimental or business related?

System restore and also a nice cleaning seems to have worked here.

dude if it makes you feel any better I am slightly constipated

mardigras · 01-04-2006, 11:55 AM

If it was very important businesswise it should have been burned to disc right after creation. Sorry, I know that doesn't make you feel any better

"Can you get this one with Firefox?"

Firefox will actually ASK you if you want to install it so you can decline and avoid it. There is also a patch to fix the problem that this virus/trojan takes advantage of. Rock on IE /sigh.

pornpf69 · 01-04-2006, 08:00 PM

why the hell didint you have a back up?

Brother Bareback · 01-04-2006, 08:02 PM

i used getdataback and it SUCKED....slowand horrible

I ended up using this http://www.stellarinfo.com/disk-recovery.htm and it was able to get EVERY SINGLE THING back for me
