 With
so many nasty Viruses being written these days,
it's easy to see how the need for recovery from these deadly programs is
growing constantly. Viruses range from
the annoying to beasts that will actually cause physical failure to your
hardware. Data recovery can be a challenge and knowing what Virus has affected
your system is the first key to unlocking your failed computer and getting
things back to normal.
The best place to start are data
recovery software programs, such as Norton, but for some of the newer and more
specific attacks, you may need to search out a specific virus program. Many of the more modern viruses
are able to sneak past the most popular virus protection software. Never
think that a virus protection program will protect you against any and all
attacks. Some viruses will erase the writeable flash bios of the infected PC and also
attempt to overwrite the first 2048 sectors of the system's available
non-removable, write-able disk drives. While
these types of viruses are among the worst, they are unfortunately
becoming increasing common.
The worst viruses will leave your operating system in tatters, and even
leave your system unable to boot. In the most complex of these
circumstances, professional data recovery
services may be required to get your data back and your system running
smoothly again. In less severe instances,
file recovery can be achieved using
free recovery tools.

Recovering from a Virus
Quite possibly the most secure method of ensuring that your
machine is clean is to transfer all your critical files to removable
media, and then Zero fill your hard drive. (Zero fill brings the drive back
to factory levels). Then reformat, and consider
partitioning for easier recovery
next time. Then, reinstall the OS. Complete a
virus scan of the files you have copied to removable media, and
provided the data is clean, transfer the data back. While this
is definitely the most time consuming method, you can be sure that when
you are done your drive will truly be virus free.
To get a free copy of zero fill you need to know who manufactured your
drive, as most manufacturers offer their own flavor of the program.
