SISZYD32.exe has possibly killed my FR computer.
Yesterday it hit suddenly despite the anti-virus and other utilities I run to protect against such stuff.
The victim computer is one I only use for FR and the sites it cites. That is the only clue I have to offer as to where it came from. I run several computers off a network and my FR computer is the only victim.
This is the worst I have ever encountered and a search for it shows that it is very dangerous and it showed up only about a week ago (AFAICT).
From years of experience I knew what to do yet the virus blocked every action, not even allowing startup in safe mode.
MalwarBytes, Spyware Doctor, SpyHunter and another one or two I tried to run were able to find it yet were blocked and defeated by siszyd32.exe.
This is day 2 and the computer boots with a black screen.
WARNING! Update all your protection software including registry cleaner, et al.
HELP! Can anybody help me get my FR black screen computer back?
Yes.
I’m still thinking that forcing virii writers to give birth to chollo cactus is a splendid idea.
*Bad idea generated*
Be advised that you have to add the Dazuko module to the kernel to get the resident scanner to work.
My only computer course was back in 1972. We had an old DEC PDP-8 mainframe. Still had punch card readers, and that yellow punchtape to enter programmes. The teletypes didn't even have monitors. Output was typed to tractor fed paper.
Because of line voltage fluxuations, the system would crash all of the time. Very frustrating.
Yes, I read the bit about the atapi file but didn’t know what atapi was so was clueless about its complications. Thanks for explaining.
where is the search function on windows 7?
“I’m still thinking that forcing virii writers to give birth to chollo cactus is a splendid idea.”
Hard to top that for retribution.
So you’re going to type all over them?
i miss DEC. You could always tell when bad economic times were coming by watching what their execs were doing.
If the band Boston came out with a new album (those guys WERE execs at DEC), the economy was headed for trouble.
i guess that they’re getting a little too old for that foolishness, or they’re too rich to care these days.
Same here, I use FireFox too. Some sites aren’t places you’d expect to get these things, either—I’ve had stuff try to load from Drudge, and once from NewsMax. Norton stopped it, but I don’t trust these sites any more.
Then force them to birth chollo cactus.
Now you’re talking way over my head ... I just know enough to mess up my computer and get stuff on the internet to fix it ... sorta ....
I hope you realize I was just trying to inject some humor into an obviously serious problem.........I hope you get your computer fixed..... :)
Yeah, ergo "the sites it cites" on the post. This pc is the one that goes everywhere. Running McAffee Site Advisor - http://www.siteadvisor.com/. Just got it and hadn't put it the victim pc.
Never heard of "rootkit."
And mine was humor back. <] ; ^ )
Did you ever get the BIOS screen to show up?
You need a program that can remove persistent crap that loads on boot. I recommend

Yes sir!

It is powerful. It will run in a dosshell environment and change your system settings. It will find the major problem but you must continue to run malware bytes and such after you get control of your PC back.
That's a pretty funny observation. I have some good Boston music in my collection. Perhaps one of the better things produced by DEC execs.
