INFECTED - artemis, redirect, physicaldrive0 mrb tdl4, rootkit - please help

this thing is killing me… LOL! i read through a bunch of threads about this, and was tempted to just kinda follow the instructions essexboy has given several others, (run aswMBR, OTH, OTL, and ComboFix, – basically i was about to do everything he said to someone else except the part about posting any logs,) but figured maybe i should do this the right way. i am ready to follow instructions! save me, jeebus!!

Here be the official “get started” instructions>>http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.msg451454#msg451454, but it sounds like you pretty much already have the gist of most of it. Please post the logs as attachments when finished, and wait for essexboy to read them over and recommend anything further.

alright, ran aswMBR, which seems to have popped a serious cap in this thing… i’ve attached the logs from before and after the “fix.” then, i ran OTH/OTL… i’ve attached the log from that as well… interpretation would be much appreciated. thanks.

I’m not familiar with the OTL log, but the aswMBR seems to have cleared the MBR rootkit.

So what symptoms are you experiencing after the MBR Rootkit removal ?

Someone else will have to pick up on this one, almost 3am here and I’m calling it a night.

thanks, gargamel and david. well, it’s only been about 2 hrs but i’m no longer experiencing any symptoms… just figured i’d see if old boy can give me the official thumbs up… i’m committed to not vanishing from this thread until it’s a confirmed repair.

You’re welcome.

It is certainly a good sign that you aren’t getting any symptoms.

Now that the rootkit element has gone, I would run another avast Quick/Full System scan and see if it finds anything that would otherwise have been hidden.

Might also be worth running MBAM:
