avast has detected this rootkit: MBR:\.\PHYSICALDRIVE1 Threat Rootkit: hidden boot-sector, I’ve tried to fix it vira aswMBR, but it doesn’t work and it’s still there also after reboot.
Edit: It shows after clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate, when I installed avast!
Try Kaspersky TDSSKiller You may have to download it to another PC and rename it, then run it on the infected box from a USB drive. If it’s blocked or gets deleted when you open the drive or try to run it, you’ll have to either connect the infected drive to a clean PC or boot the infected PC from another drive.
I keep a bare bones second install of Windows on another drive just for such cases. I had to use it to run TDSSKiller to remove a rootkit I got hit with in a drive-by.
Rootkit.win32.tdss.tdl4 found, what I have to select to remove it, skip, copy to quarantine, cure or restore?
Did you press the fix button on ASWMbr ?
With TDSSKiller select cure
No, there was only fixMBR possible to press.
Problem fixed with TDSSKiller, thanks very much for very fast response! 8)
