There is a known problem with third-party virus software when using old virus definitions where they will report that the Nikon View CD is infected with the "Nimda" virus. This is caused when using an old virus definition file that had a particular problem. If your software reports a virus, please contact your virus detection software manufacturer for definition updates. For more info, please see: http://antivirus.about.com/library/weekly/aa111201a.htm There are no viruses on any genuine Nikon software CD's.

How can i remove w32 blaster worm

If there is w32 blaster worm on your computer, it seems there is not only this worm but also other problems. You can use some anti-virus software such as Kaspersky or Norton to remove the w32 blaster worm. If it doesn't work, reinstall operating system. If you are in emergency and not a computer expert, I suggest you do this by some software. Some software can check your computer health first and report your computer status including software, hardware, security and stability. Then you may follow simple steps to remove all viruses and fix other hidden errors.

I couldn't view the hidden files when i apply show hidden files in my folder options in tools menu in menu bar.

Folder Options is removed from Tools in Windows by a virus. The virus is called W32.Rontokbro@mm OR W32/Rontokbro.gen@MM

The removal of this virus is slightly difficult. Antivirus can't remove it automatically. However detailed procedure to remove it is available at

http://coolexp.blogspot.com/2008/01/fold...

About this Virus/Worm:
What it does is creating new files which looked like a folder but its actually a .exe file. Unless you’ve enabled the view extensions in the folder options or else you won’t see the .exe extension of the file. The file is approximately 43.7Kb and normally people will click to open it because it looked like a folder. So after you’ve open it, the virus will run each time during startup and keep on spreading and spreading… into the harddrives.

More troubles coming up. Normally when you click “Tools” in explorer, there’s a “folder options” underneath it. Once the pc is infected with the virus, the Folder Options will be missing, which disabled you to change the options to view the extension of the files. So when you see a new folder appeared from nowhere and you clicked to open it out of curiousity, the virus spread more again. Moreover, the virus disabled the registry edit where you will see this message “Registry edit is disabled by the administrator” everytime you try to edit the registry.

So how to clean the virus then? I found some solution from the following link and have successfully cleaned it from my system.

http://coolexp.blogspot.com/2008/01/fold...

It will help you to get rid of this virus named W32.Rontokbro@mm aka brontok.a and to get back your hidden files. Source(s): http://coolexp.blogspot.com/2008/01/fold...
