avast5\arpot\883a92-1030-0.dat is infected by win32:Alureon-FZ
My internet browser started redirecting to mevio.com regardless of what I was trying to search for. I deleted all temp files/history/etc, ran CCleaner and Advanced System Care. I ran a Avast Quick Scan and found the virus. It prompted me to perform a boot scan and that is where I am right now. The boot scan found the virus above and I deleted it.
Why doesn’t Avast prevent this virus from gettng to the computer?
Add it to the chest manually, open the chest and right click in it and select add. From the navigation window pop-up, navigate to the avast5\arpot\883a92-1030-0.dat file and add it.
It’s gone now. If the action under Settings for the boot scan was set to “ask” or “move to virus chest” then you could see it and perhaps do something with it. But once it is deleted…it’s gone.
Just lost a big post because it said the attached file size was too large and not going to write it all again >:(
Long story short, after deleting the Alureon problem yesterday and thinking I had my problem solved, my overnight scan found another problem (ftdisk.sys, Rootkit: Threat: system mofication) I ran another boot-time scan that found the Alureon again (infected a different file) and a Malware-gen problem.
I moved both files to the chest this time if someone can tell me how and where to send them.
I also have screen shots in a word file I can send of the scan logs. File is only 664kb but too big to attach here.
Because it didn’t detect them…
Maybe the infection is on your disc since a longer period already.
I would recommend a deeper inspection of your HD with other tools as well to make sure the infection has been removed.
You could start that with Malwarebytes Antimalware:
Click on MBAM in my signature, download the free version, install and start it. Update the program via it’s GUI after starting it.
Run a quick scan (just a few minutes).
Post the log here.
To avoid using multiple post with copy and paste you have to attach the log`s
Lower left corner: Additional Options > Attach ( Malwarebytes log / OTS log )
OTS log must be saved as ANSI and not Unicode
Essexboy will look at the logs when he arrive here later today…
On completion of the scan click save log, save it to your desktop and post in your next reply
THEN
Download OTS to your Desktop and double-click on it to run it
[*]Make sure you close all other programs and don’t use the PC while the scan runs.
