Restoring Win7 file share with Ubuntu after rootkit attack


Hola,
I have several Windows computers in my network, and a 10.4 Ubuntu server for shared folders. All worked well, until Win7 computer got recently attacked by a rootkit (ZeroAccess/Sirefef). After much effort, I was able to clean it off. I got my networking working, and I'm able to see the windows machines - except for the Ubuntu server.

I can ping it, but it does not show up on network discovery, and if I type the address, it shows 'network path not found (53)'. As I said, everything was working before, so the problem must lie within the Windows machine. What setting could be the culprit?

There is no known way to remove all rootkits or even find all rootkits. You have to be very aggressive in your removal process. I don't mean clean I mean complete reload from scratch along with updates, security suite and follow best practices. Any media that you have that is not OEM is subject to being a virus holder. All the network needs to be removed during this process. Even the linux system needs security and best practices and may also contain the code of the virus.

If you did all that an now you wish to set up networking, you have to know that windows 7 has been a bit more secure. You have to enable trivial things like ping. You have to allow network shares in the firewall of windows 7. Pinging by name may also require netbios or other such as hosts file entry. Generally xp and above you should use ip address.
