What to do if my computer is infected by a virus or a malware?

Is there any anti virus or tool which cleans or disinfect the w32.Sality virus instead of deleting/corrupting it?

I got infected by it yesterday, first i tried panda cloud, but while disinfecting .exe files, it corrupted all of them. After corrupting 10-20 exe files i removed panda and installed Kaspersky Antivirus 2011

It is doing the same, each file it disinfects get corrupted. I lost a huge number of small softwares, games etc :'(

Please help

I am doing the scanning after reinstalling windows, and virus is not running now, i just want to clean infected files

I've found Microsoft Security Essentials particularly useful when dis-infecting files. Give it a try.

Also, do not use AVG - In my experience is just removes the infected files without prompting.

Your best bet is to remove the drive and scan it on a computer with good AV or to boot the system with a tool like Symantec Endpoint Recovery Tool. This does not allow the malawere to load and interfere with the AV tool. Symanetc has aditional resources here w32.Sality tool
