    Does Win32/Sality.AT on disc infect by just reading disc?


    I inserted a disc in my PC that windows defender said had win32/sality.at virus. I did not install anything from the disc. I let defender do it’s thing and then did deep scans and all seem clear.Looking in protection history however it appears a few times. One says it was blocked, others say ‘remediation incomplete’.Would just windows reading the files allow this virus to be loaded? I ask because around the same time devices on my home network seemed to disappear. Maybe coincidence. The devices reappeared by rebooting them.Is there any other things to try to ensure I have not been infected?Tha

    :)

    Win32/Sality

    The free version of Malwarebytes can clean Win32.Sality? If so, I'll download the .exe on my laptop, put it in a USB, drag it onto my new admin account and take the USB out before it's infected.

    I know of 3 AVs that can cure Sality: Kaspersky, BitDefender, and ShieldDeluxe. I'm not sure about MalwareBytes, but I know I've read about it someone. (I've done extensive research on this virus.)
