A few weeks ago I noticed my XP SP3 pc started slowing down and started to show pop up ads ALL the time! I was using AVG anti virus and I kept getting warnings about my viruses infecting my computer! I learned that the virus was no virus but a trojan called Alureon.p I got a new anti virus (Avast, comfix, and malwarebytes, I scanned and cleaned my computer) So I thought until last week when I attempted to go on line for the first time and get windows updates (Trojan will not allow updates to run)I noticed my system was extremely slow and the pop ups came back so I did another scan and this time Avast tells me that I am now infected with Alureon-G which is in my opionion a billion times worse than Alureon.p I am getting so frustrated that I am ready to do a clean install on my system but I can’t even do that because I don’t have the boot disc that origianlly came with the system (its a hand me down) … blah blah blah! right??
Ok so yesterday I came across information here about downloading and running aswMBR and this is the information log that I saved:
