When I do a full system scan, The scan does not ever complete, but it goes on for ever. Please suggest me some solution to delete Hacktool.Nuker.

The Hacktool.Nuker had infected my system too. It actually modifies the registry settings and ini files, that means it changes its values. This is normally done so that the system startup will be hooked up. Inorder to detect and delete Hacktool.Nuker the current engine and dat files are to be used. Both of these when combined cleans the infection totally from the system. It had successfully worked in my case, hope it does in your case too.

Re: How to delete Hacktool.Nuker?
Whatever type of infection it maybe--viruses, trojans, backdoors, etc. a method available for their eradication is boot scan. No infection can withstand this removal method, as boot scan occurs even before windows can load/startup. It means that the scan takes place before an infection can actually execute. This boot scan feature is available with antiviruses like "QUICK HEAL TOTAL SECURITY ANTIVIRUS". So. boot scan will definitely delete Hacktool.Nuker.
