I’ve run avast and malwarebytes multiple times in both safe mode and regular mode. This one virus keeps appearing. Can someone give me any tips for getting rid of it once and for all? Thanks!
Hi DJ32 and welcome to the forum.
Let’s ask Essexboy, our Malware Expert to have a look inside.
See the guide here http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0
follow the instructions and attach (not copy and paste) the OTL.txt log
Because of the time difference there may not be a response until tomorrow
Monitoring
I ran all of the programs as listed in the link and attached the OTL.txt log - please let me know if you want me to attach any other logs.
Thanks!

I’ve attached both reports. Rogue killer has directed me to a website - how to get rid of Zero access - should I follow instructions for this?
I’ll be gone most of the afternoon - so I’ll check back later - thanks for your help so far!
OK this time I could see that RogueKiller was going to replace the services file on reboot

Once done can you let me know what problems remain
Hi - seems to be ok - ran both avast and malwarebytes in safe mode, they both came up clean.
Thanks for your help!!
Subject to no further problems
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
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
[*]Go to control panel
[*]Select folder options (Appearance > Folder options in category view)
[*]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.

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
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
Spoke too soon - did not run your cleanup yet - but ran a full scan with Avast and it found a threat: MBR:Alureaon-B[rtk] - advise?
