Hi,

I am having the same problem and I have followed your directions in downloading and running program mentioned above. The following is the output from Bootkit Remover:

Bootkit Remover version 1.0.0.1
(c) 2009 eSage Lab
www.esagelab.com

\\.\C: -> \\.\PhysicalDrive0
MD5: b19ee33a0168d5f0bb9afbe12e2bc035

Size Device Name MBR Status
--------------------------------------------
74 GB \\.\PhysicalDrive0 Unknown boot code

Unknown boot code has been found on some of your physical disks.
To inspect the boot code manually, dump the master boot sector:
remover.exe dump <device_name> [output_file]
To disinfect the master boot sector, use the following command:
remover.exe fix <device_name>

Press any key to quit...

What is my next move? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Open Notepad
Copy and paste following text into Notepad:

@ECHO OFF
START remover.exe fix \\.\PhysicalDrive0
EXIT

Go FILE > SAVE AS and in the dropdown box select SAVE AS TYPE to ALL FILES
Then in the FILE NAME box type fix.bat.
Save fix.bat to your Desktop.

Run fix.bat by double clicking.
You may see a black box appear; this is normal.

When done, run remover.exe again and post its output.
