Rouge Killer deleted critical files
« on: October 14, 2016, 06:44:34 PM »
Hi, I ran rouge killer yesterday. It grab a lot of files to have ADS. I allowed it to delete them.

I then continued with my day using my laptop. I power it down and then today got up and powered my laptop up and instead of booting into windows 7. It boots into some recovery mode. However, this window is displayed off screen. I have a black screen with a line running down the middle of  the screen from left to right.  However at the top of the screen. I can see the bottom of what looks like the recovery mode. I can move my mouse and can see the bottom of a recovery mode looking window.  I can see my cursor  on the bottom of that window which is located at the top of my monitor screen of the laptop.

I cannot see any dialogs nor read any works. If i position my mouse to go up and start clicking what I cannot see. I can see the bottom of a new window dialog box opening giving me 3 options or 3 buttoms. I cannot read them or see the top parts. Only the buttom parts and do know he far right button is cancel even though I cannot read it. Since it shows only the bottom half of the button below where the text would normally show up.

That's what happens when I boot into windows. However, I have my laptop dual boot 2 os and can boot into my linux os.

I need tips and suggestions on how I can figure out what rouge killer deleted. Are there any logs?

I can access the hard drive via linux os. I do not recall what rouge killer deleted. I do remember one file was a system file.

I just need to know what I can do to recover from this. I need to know what linux  can do to help me recover.


I remember I had a bunch of found ADS just like this member:
http://forum.adlice.com/index.php?topic=788.0

that picture I had  a lot like that resulted and am using the latest rouge killer verson.

I permitted rouge killer to delete it. Now, seems like when booting into windows 7 it goes into recovery mode.

However, I cannot see anything because the window that shows the recover mode window is displayed off screen towards the top of the screen. I can only see the bottom part of that window.

So, the rest of the screen is black with white streaks in the middle going from left to right and sometimes I can see like green, blue,, purple, red dots scattered in the bottom part of my screen.

However, can boot into linux fine. So, I know it's not a hardware failure at all.

It looks to me that rouge killer deleted some important files. I would like to know if there's any logs stored on my machine and if not I think the makers of this tool should think about making a logging system in case stuff like this happens there should be a way to go back and see exactly what files were deleted.

with linux I have 100% access to the hard drive itself. I just don't know what rouge killer deleted and don't know how to reverse what it did.

I only think one critical file was deleted. I only noticed one system file got deleted. The rest that it detected could be legit.

I ran rouge killer after I installed the latest version which I did yesterday on 10/13/2016.

I would assume Rogue Killer deleted important parts of your graphics driver, like it tried on my laptop: http://forum.adlice.com/index.php?topic=235.msg4543#msg4543

Yes, that's exactly what it looked liked to me yesturday. I just clicked delete all and then today this morning turned on my laptop and windows would by default when trying to boot it puts me in recovery mode.

However, the output rouge killer was very similar to yours and my cpu is intel but a 64 bit machine.

nevermind decided to use a linux live cd and transfer files over to external hard drive. Decided to reinstall windows and linux.  Just a pain in the butt.

Looks like the latest versions shows false positives for intel files. Mine wiped them out and after a day of searching looks like no way to recover. I tried many different things and it didn't work. Decided it's taking too long and best to just start over again. Just a heads up for anyone else.
