Sir,

We are facing the problem with Sality.aa. We tried to remove the entries, which have given you. But some entries are found and some entries or not found. After that we scan the system with Kaspersky but the safe mode, Registy & Task Manager also disabled. In this situation we downloaded some repairing tools also. With that only 2 minutes it works and after 2 minutes agiain condition is same.

Please help us in this regard

hey… sharma, download the following tool and do scan all your drives with this tool, after this u need to format your computer, i mean c drive not all drives, as the virus copies itself into all the drives but the removal tool is not able to repair one file “winlogon.exe” for which u need to format your computer because this process starts as soon as u log on your computer.
therefore after cleaning the other drives, make sure u format your computer. I have done this successfully on my friend’s computer!
Gud Luck!!

I discovered a new removal steps for removing Sality from infected pc,

all you need is Winrar(or other zip utilities) and a copied Anti-virus…
Note:( I suggest that you use winrar and nod32)

All you need to do is zip your eset (this is the directory of your nod32) directory using your winrar and put password on it….

Run your “zipped nod32″ and scan your drives…

voila!!! Your pc is clean!!!

I recommend backups of executable files because sality injects code on exe files..
