Virus som slår ut en HD?

[OCSpro]

Hørt rykter om virus som slår ut hd'er, er dette riktig eller myte? Mistet en wd80 etter et virusangrep som tok mbr'ene mine, eller er det bare en fysisk feil på disken??

[giraffen]

Først gikk en 6,4gb hd, så min wd800 også, og et par dager etterpå gikk en 40gb reservedisk samme veien.

Veldig mistenkelig synes nå jeg.

 

Lastet aldri ned en screensaver

This warning is not true. In fact some of the text is identical to Win A Holiday and other virus hoaxes.

Ja det finnes viruser som kan ødelegge diskene og andre ting på systemet ditt, men det er skjelden du opplever det. Du må bare ha et antivirus software installer feks norton 2003.

Da er du neste garrantert at du aldri vil få virus på pc'en din? Selv har eg aldri hatt virus på mine hd'er.

[Goebbels]

hmm. jeg for min del mistet for et par uker siden en WD80 disk. bare sånn over natten.

Måtte en formatering til.

[kong figurasjon]

En kollega satt og spilte Cm3 en kveld, slo av maskinen og gikk og la seg.

Neste dag når han skulle starte pc'en igjen, vips; så var allting borte. Partition Magic's boot-disketter viste en helt tom harddisk! Har ikke funnet ut hva det kan være, er det noen som vet hvordan dette kan skje? Er det sånn at et virus bare kan "formatere" hele disken når den skal boote?

[Kjetil Lura]

Nei har aldri hørt eller opplevd det at ett virus kan formatere diskene, men virus kan ødelegge noen oppstartfiler slik at du ikke kan boote opp.

Han har kanskje hatt besøk av en kammerat som formaterte disken hans

Det er dette som er et virus.

 

Tsjernobyl var vel et av de første store MBR virusene, men ikke noe problem å bli kvitt.

[Osram]

Nei, dette er ikke et virus. Bruk 4 sekunder på Google så finner du ut det:

Virus hoax

 

Description

In 1997 the Budweiser beer company placed a screensaver on their website depicting the Budweiser frogs from their advertising campaign. Shortly afterwards an email began circulating warning people not to download the file:

 

DANGER!!!VIRUS ALERT!!! This is a new twist. Someone is sending out a very desirable screen-saver the Budweiser Frogs. But if you download it, you will lose everything!!! Your hard drive will crash!!! DON'T DOWNLOAD THIS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!! IT JUST WENT INTO CIRCULATION YESTERDAY, AS FAR AS WE KNOW....BE CAREFUL. PLEASE DISTRIBUTE THIS TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE... This is WHAT THE SCREENSAVER OFFER WOULD LOOK LIKE! File: BUDSAVER.EXE (24643 bytes) DL Time (28800 bps):

 

At the time of writing, there is no known virus (or more correctly Trojan horse) which masquerades as a Budweiser Frogs screensaver. However, users should always be very cautious when downloading or using executables of unknown origin.

Vel, det vertste som et virus kan gjøre med en HD er å skrive over filene. Da er det ingen mulighet å få de tilbake. Det nest verste er nok at virus kan skrive over FAT'en eller bootsektoren. Da blir det litt vanskelig å få ut data men det går etter mye tidkrevende slit. Uansett hvilket av disse som skjer så er det alltid mulighet for å partisjonere og formatere disken på nytt.

 

Men det finnes faktisk noe farligere:

Det er de virusene (ala chernobyl) som flasher bios eller firmware med gale data. (hovedkort, skjermkort, CD-rom'er, harddisker osv) Da kan du i verste fall ikke få liv i komponenten igjen og rett og slett må kjøpe nytt.

Heldigvis er disse virusene skjeldne og det finnes "diehard-bioser" og flash-advarsler.

[Axefjord]

Tror nok jeg hadde et sånt bios/firmware-virus. Min wd800jb ble plutselig en wd1200bb (eller var det wd2000bb?). Disken ble helt ødelagt. Ødela som sagt denne + to andre harddisker på to uker

 

Må få tak i Norton
