MBR : \.\\PHYSICALDRIVE0\PARTITION2

Avast continues to say that I have a virus: MBR Alureon-k in MBR physicaldrive0 Partition2

Hope you can help me.
Thanks in advance,

Jeff,

Thanks for consideration, but it simply doesn’t work…
I tried to run it… But it doesn’t start…

I also take a look in the processes: for few seconds the aswMBR process is present and then it simply disappears without any view of the tool Windows in which we have the scan button…

Hi willo.c,

Let’s try this…move aswMBR to your [b]C:[/b] folder so that it will look like this when there >> C:\aswMBR.exe Try to run it from there. If it still doesn’t work boot to Safe Mode and try to run it from there.

Same problem even in C, even in Safe mode!!

Is it possibile the rootkit block aswMBR?

Helppp mee!! :((

If renamed in explorer.exe it showed:

The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005). Click on OK to terminate the application.

Already tried TDSSKiller, but it doesn’t start, exactly as aswMBR…

Ok, I’m doing the quick scan with Malwarebytes…

adotd does not have permission to provide help in this section so has been deleted.

Ok, i will wait for Jeff!!

Hi,

Let’s go about this another way. Underneath my name over to the left…you will see a “Globe” icon. Press that and go to my page. Once there, select the file named svchost and download that file directly to your [b]C:[/b] folder and then run the program. If a log is produced post that to your next reply. :slight_smile:

Jeff,

always the same problem… Nothing happens…
Is it the aswMBR renamed?

Let’s take a look and see what we have

In the run box type the following

diskmgmt.msc

When disc management opens expand it so that all drives are visible
Take a screenshot and post it here

Are you able to burn a CD on another computer ?

Attached the screenshot…

Of course, i can burn a CD/DVD on another pc…

Hi,

I need you to download:
gparted-live-0.10.0-3.iso (115.1 MB)

Create a bootable CD, for Gparted from the ISO image.

You can use ImgBurn do this.

Now boot off of the newly created Gparted CD.

You should be here… Press ENTER

By default, “do not touch keymap” is highlighted.
Leave this setting alone and just press ENTER.

Choose your language and press ENTER. English is default [33]

Once again, at this prompt, press ENTER
You will now be taken to the main GUI screen below

According to your logs, the partition that you want to delete is 10mb

Click the trash can icon to delete and then click Apply.

Is “boot” next to your OS drive?
If “boot” is not next to your OS drive under “Flags”, right-mouse click the OS drive while in Gparted and select Manage Flags

In the menu that pops up, place a checkmark in boot like the picture below:

Choose reboot and then press OK.

Jeff,

i deleted the small partition… Now everything is OK!!! :))
Avast don’t find anything… Even Malwarebytes don’t find anything…

Thanks a lot!! :wink: :wink: :wink:

Is there something i can do to prevent any other rootkit?

Oh now stay with me…there was more on your system than just that.

Were you able to get aswMBR to run? If so please post that log. I want to make sure your system is on the up-and-up. :slight_smile:

:frowning: :frowning: :frowning:

You were right…

Now the process Services.exe is running on my CPU over 90%…

But i’m able to run aswMBR… I’m going to post the log when it finishes the scan…

Here the log of aswMBR…

I run it on Safe mode…
