Yesterday after booting my computer it froze. After about 15-20 min it unfroze and believing it was a hardware problem such as dust/overheating decided i would clean it with some dustoff later. I surfed the web for a bit after it unfroze and realised my sound was not working, i checked my hardware and saw that the audio playback section was greyed out. On top of that my PC was not able to recognise a flash drive i had plugged in.
After some research on the net i realised it as a virus and ran an avast scan which found 6 items and removed all but 2. Win32:malware-gen. i think it also said the file was c:\windows\sukuolql.dll
So then i ran Malwarebytes and it found another 12 infections, again removing all but the win32:Malware-gen i think it could have said loader as well, i cant check at the moment because I’m running a bootscan with avast. I have all previous scan logs saved and will post them upon request.
If the boot scan is able to remove it, i would like to be absolutely sure that its gone and not just hiding and replicating which it seems to be doing.
Also i should mention that Avast had benn sending a lot of my driver files to the chest, is this why my computer did not detect any playback hardware? Thanks in advance!
EDIT: These are the results of the bootscan. The file c:windows\temp_avast5_\trzF.tmp was infected by win32: malware-gen. it has been moved to the chest
The file c:\windows\temp_avast5_\trz10.tmp is infected by Win:32Rootkit gen [RTK] and could not be deleted or moved to chest.
Also there is now a warning when i boot up that states sukuolql.dll cannot be found, probably because its been moved to the chest?
