How does the Ravmon Virus affects your PC?
When you Open any drive in My Computer by right clicking, the Context menu will have a chinese like language & when you click on this language on context menu, the drive will not open but the Open With dialouge will ask you to “Choose the program you want to use to open this file:”. Also by double clicking any drive same thing happens.
Context Menu and OpenWith Dialogue will look like this.
The Ravmon virus does also corrupt your Folder Options. So when you open Folder Options and try to check “Show hidden files and folders” and click ok. My Computer will not show hidden files, also “Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)” option will not be working.
Folder Options Dailogue
Error launching Task Manager, Registry Editor and Command prompt which is also solved by this tool
How Does the Ravmon Virus Spread?
Ravmon Virus mostly spreads from USB Flash drives. So to prevent this virus from breaking into your pc you must start an Anti-Virus before plugining a Flash drive into your pc.
For Removing Ravmon virus and its effects I have created a tool. Just download it, run it and Restart your computer.

July 5th, 2007 at 9:26 am
I installed it but how to run it? or installing it and restarting the machine is enough?
July 5th, 2007 at 10:27 am
I tried both manual registry fixes:-
1.) Turning hidden entry to 1.
2.) Making CheckedValue a DWORD entry.
but after closing the editor, the previous settings get restored automatically. I have turned “System Restore” off on all drives.
I’ve a laptop as well. In laptop, Run feature, registry editor & task manager all are disabled.
I would also appreciate if you’ll let me know what harm this do to machine?
July 7th, 2007 at 11:28 pm

hi .
I installed windows and used a USB flash disk on it .. and it has been giving me problems ever since .
i installed and updated all virus definitions and spy ware programs, especially AVG, spython and adaware .
I detected and eliminated everything that even hinted as an error.
I downloaded and used the utility u have on this website and restarted.
now, ive scanned the PC atleast 5 times, it doesnt have Ravmon.exe nor autorun.inf . CMD is working fine, i can see hidden stuff .. only problem is “I CANNOT CLICK DRIVES AS IT STILL SHOWS ME THOSE CHINESE ALPHABETS”.
please help out. I would really appreciate it.

Thxs very much. I have been trying to remove this virus for quite a long time. Used every type of soft from registry cleaner to antivirus to spyware to manual tweaking, you name it. I am most surprised at failures of renowned antivirus programs to counter this theat. Your tool and guides on ravmon and similar nuisances are great and practical. I got here through searching on yahoo for “hidden files not showing up in Windows”. Thxs again for your effort.

August 23rd, 2007 at 1:42 pm
irishdave, try turning off system restore. when I had the virus it was saving its master files in there. with that off the virus was done. best of luck.
Seems to work ok. Although I had wiped it already, and was just trying to remove remnants, here’s hoping it got rid of those.
August 24th, 2007 at 8:23 am
Dear All,

September 14th, 2007 at 11:26 pm
There r so many viruses like Rav Mon But Wont Show any kind of invalid characters, but still havin autorun.inf file in the root of the drive which is Responsible for executing the virus file linked to the script in the autorun.inf file.
September 14th, 2007 at 11:36 pm
So First if U have winrar installed on UR PC then Browse ur PC using winrar(Because winrar can Show Hidden Files even if we didn’t enable in the options to show)just after u Double Click on the Drive icon in the winrar File Browser, search for autorun.inf file. Double click on that file to open and view/edit that file U can see something like open=.exe here “.exe” may be any thing Like autorun.exe or recycler.exe just remember these names and close the file and search for those .exe and .inf files and delete them from within winrar file browser and then unmount flash drive and remount it. thats it.
September 14th, 2007 at 11:39 pm
in the above comment “.exe” = “somefilename.exe”
September 14th, 2007 at 11:52 pm
Some times it shows path too Especially for Recycler.exe Virus.
Like below:
open=.\Recycler\recycler.exe
Here just u browse for a recycler Folder and delete that Folder Directly. OR there is a very very simple Trick.
Just search For file which U dint Copied in to the Flash Drive and delete all those Files. Thats it. Remember one thing here, that none of Flash drive users create autorun.inf files in Flash drives. So we can delete this kind of .inf files directly.
These files(autorun.inf) can be created by some softwares Provided by the Flash drive manufacturers. So we cant suspect their softwares as viruses. Remember this also.
September 14th, 2007 at 11:59 pm
If U Believe that U dint installed any software into the Flash drive like for example “PortableApps” etc. Then goon with the above Procedures. or if U have a Internet connection install Avast antivirus which is free for personal use and Provides Free online and Offline antivirus Updates.
September 15th, 2007 at 12:10 am
TIP: Never Double Click the Flash Drive Icon. Instead Use Win+e key combination and browse ur Flash Drive. or Type the Flash drive Letter in the Address bar of the Windows Explorer.
For Example: if it Shows like below
Removable Media(F:)
Then Type F:/ in the Address bar of the Explorer to Open UR Flash drive.

oye u ppl rock!!
thx 4 the ravmon virus removal tool!!
October 1st, 2007 at 4:28 pm
For enabling “show hidden files and folder” .. the above methods are ineffective.. so follow the following steps:
1.Open the Registry editor(Start–>Run–>Regedit)
2.Open HKey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL
3.Delete the Key “CheckedValue” (If it has type REG_SZ and Value set to 2)
4.Create a new DWORD named CheckedValue (same as above, except that the type is REG_DWORD). Modify the value data to 1.
5. Now the problem should be solved!!! Enjoy!!
October 1st, 2007 at 5:00 pm
what the hell? this thing does not work for me at all. I ran the program and remove the virus but it’s still in the computer? HELP ME!!!!

November 1st, 2007 at 6:10 pm
IT WORKS. But like the devloper said you will have to scan your drives for vires first before running the Ravmon virus killer. UPDATE the virus database first. I use mcafee virusscan enterprise 8.0.0 with latest update sdat5153
