» Viruses and Malware. It's hard to run an anti-virus scan if you can't boot from the hard drive. To run an anti-virus or other scan, you'll need to take some special steps to boot from something else. Try using this external disk on other system, take backup of all the files from removable hard drive to another computer. Removable HDD on windows 7 and format it using NTFS file system. Do copy the data back to the External Hard drive and check if can be opened on Windows 7. Always take backup.

I was on these forums a couple months ago and received great help with cleaning up my desktop and my laptop, however, I never got a chance to work on my Seagate Backup Plus Desktop Drive, which I use as my network storage drive (I don't backup my drives on it, I only use it on my network for data storage files (the last 10+ years of my life basically). I finally hooked it up today and am finding that TONS of folders and files are saying Access Denied when I try to open the folders or if I try to delete the folders. I'm currently running a full scan on the driver using Microsoft Security Essentials and SUPERAntiSpyware.

I was thinking that I might be better off begging for assistance on here since you guys took care of my issues very quickly and professional (I must add that). Once these two scans are complete, I'll power off the drive and wait for a reply here. I really really don't want to lose my data (I'm sure no one does), but if I can save even a little of my data, it's worth a try to me. To reiterate, my drive is: Seagate Backup Plus Desktop Drive (2 TB), connected to my desktop PC by USB. My Desktop PC is: Windows 7 Professional 32-bit Service Pack 1, Dell Inspiron 560, Pentium Dual-Core @ 3.2 GHz, 4 GB RAM Thank you for any assistance you can provide! Just an update from my scan: I have a service that is running a 0 byte file called wudfhost.exe with a file description of Windows Driver Foundation - User-mode Driver Framework Host Process, which I found on the Microsoft Site that says it's called Worm: Win32/Slenfbot.ALJ, I also have a file called rpcrt4.dll which says this is called Trojan:Win32/Fakemsc.A!dll.

So obviously this is now spread from my external drive to my Desktop PC. I have no idea if there is more on here or not. Also, when I try to open folders on my Desktop C: Drive, I am getting access denied and that only the user named TrustedInstaller can access the folder. I don't get it, cause I'm using my Administrator account. I should be able to do anything. Edited by davidolson255, 03 November 2013 - 02:17 AM.
