MBR:Alureon-K [rtk] partion 3

Here is the OTL file you requested.

Thanks again!!!
S.Grundy

No problem, essexboy should be on-line in a couple of hours after work.

Could you get a screenshot of disc management - post it here and I will outline the one to delete

I already deleted the partition and I sent you the OTL file as DavidR requested. Read the above posts.

I want to thank you so much for helping me essexboy. Again I’m sorry for all the confusion, but I wasn’t familiar with the Disk Management program so it took me awhile to figure out how to use it.

Can you tell how these viruses are picked up. I read in one of the topics about keeping Java updated, so I updated mine recently.

There are so many ways to get this, Avast catches a lot but it is always playing catchup. As soon as one is identified a new one is created

How is the computer behaving ?

Seems to run fine, but to be honest it always has. We must have caught this before it did too much damage. I think it was last week when Avast first noticed it.
Again your guys are great. I know a little about these things, mostly from past problems. I learn from experience.

Thanks again.

If all is well tomorrow then let me know and I will remove my tools.

The bonus with Avast is that it stops it from leaving your computer

Whilst the initial rootkit got on the system avast prevented it from inviting more of its friends to the party (blocking access to the malicious sites/urls) and getting much worse.

Thanks guys!!!

Subject to no further problems :slight_smile:

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean :thumbsup:

A good workman always cleans up after himself so…The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:

Run OTL
[*]Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following

:Commands [resethosts] [emptytemp] [Reboot]

[*]Then click the Run Fix button at the top
[*]Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done

Run OTL and hit the cleanup button. It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself.

We will now confirm that your hidden files are set to that, as some of the tools I use will change that

[*]Click Start.
[*]Open My Computer.
[*]Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
[*]Select the View Tab.
[*]Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Do not show hidden files and folders.
[]Click Yes to confirm.
[
]Click OK.

SPRING CLEAN

To manually create a new Restore Point

[*]Go to Control Panel and select System
[*]Select System
[*]On the left select System Protection and accept the warning if you get one
[*]Select System Protection Tab
[*]Select Create at the bottom
[*]Type in a name i.e. Clean
[*]Select Create

Now we can purge the infected ones

[*]GoStart > All programs > Accessories > system tools
[*]Right click Disc cleanup and select run as administrator
[*]Select Your main drive and accept the warning if you get one
[*]For a few moments the system will make some calculations
[*]Select the More Options tab
[*]In the System Restore and Shadow Backups select Clean up
[*]Select Delete on the pop up
[]Select OK
[
]Select Delete

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:

http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/7729/mbamicontw5.gif

Malwarebytes. Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

Download and install FileHippo update checker and run it monthly it will show you which programmes on your system need updating and give a download link

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated. To keep your operating system up to date visit

[*]Microsoft Windows Update

To learn more about how to protect yourself while on the internet read our little guide How did I get infected in the first place ?

Keep safe :wave:

Done everything per your instructions. I will check back with you in 24 hours or so just to let you know how everything is running.

Thanks again
Solomon

24 Hours and everything is cool. Thanks everyone!!!

Goodbye
S.Grundy

Glad to be of help ;D

essexboy,

Just curious; a few of my programs are getting errors when I open them. Could this virus have had anything to do with that. I know one program runs with Java. I have reinstalled them, and deleted and reinstalled my Java. But the errors will not go away. Any ideas???

Sure what programmes and what are the errors

I have a program called Your Uninstaller, and a program called MP3 Rocket. The Uninstaller gets an error about anaccess violation to 0x77D45CF2 and it cannot write to OxOOO3O9C, and then it will not update before it closes
.
The MP3 Rocket works hand in hand with Java. and it gives me an error saying it cannot write to a necessary file and then it’s streaming feature will not work.

I think it may be about a corrupt Java file.

My initial thought on those would be to download a fresh copy and overinstall them as some files may have been damaged

Let me know if that works

Tried that, but no luck. I’ll figure it out. Thanks

OK lets kill the java error

Download and run Javara from here
http://singularlabs.com/software/javara/
Once it has completed then via control panel uninstal the remaining Java variant
Run Javara once more

Download and install the latest Java from here http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp

While you are doing that I will check out the other programme

What is the version of uninstaller ?
