Computer infected with TrojanAlureonE.
Original title: TrojanAlureonE of the problems yet?
I did really stupid things and cannot cancel their. I'm an administrator on the computer outside of me, how, I don't know, but I can't delete it, because she is the main, how it got there, I don't know if I've made me a password, it was too long, so he took off with the other administrator and computer cookies deleted, etc., so now I can't get into my email or anything else. Then I deleted all but the most recent system restore point and need to restore my computer at l March, 2012, well before I had the problem with the Trojan horse, when my screen went blue, and I couldn't most of my programs. I think I still have parts of the virus, because I cut things or turn them off, and the next time I check, they are activated. I am now in safe mode. I can no longer get email, can't log on to one of my sites e-mail so it won't help for you send me an email. I was wondering if I update to Windows 7, if it would destroy the rest of the virus? I don't know a lot about the internet, but I try to learn. I have not yet checked, but I doubt that if I have enough room to update anything, my drive does not work so cannot perform a new installation of Windows XP, I use an old laptop HP 2008, Pavilion, so it is likely quite full. My hard drive does not work.
What makes you think that your computer is infected by an Alureon rootkit?
If you're infected with one or more of the Alureon variants there are only a couple of scanners that will actually detect and remove it. None of the scanners offered by Microsoft are included.
First, click HERE and download aswMBR. Save the file to your desktop. Double-click on the file. When the scanner opens, you will be asked to download the Avast virus database. Chose the Yes. By default, the scanner is set on a quick scan, which is what you want. Once the data has been downloaded, click on the scan button. Allow the analysis to be performed. This can take a lot of time so, just be patient. Once the analysis is complete if the lines of text in the scanner have red text, your computer is infected. If this is the case click the difficulty MBR button on the scanner. Confirm the prompt. Then click on save the log file. A log file will then be saved on your desktop. Restart your computer. Open the log file, copy and paste the content in your response.

Computer infected with Advanced Virus Remover (pavrm.exe).
Computer of my granddaughter is infected with Advanced Virus Remover (pavrm.exe) and he turned everything. Disable you the antivirus (Cyberdefender), so I tried Ctrl + Alt + Delete, and the Bishop of tasks has been disabled as well. I then tried to go to the control panel to remove the program, and as soon as I clicked on it, the screen went to a blank desktop. I started in safe mode, but still an empty office. Then booted to a command line and managed to find the APR files in several places. Managed to remove a few files from the command line, but when I try to delete others I get "path not found." Many years since I used BACK, so I don't know if I'm in the commands incorrectly or if it's the virus. What should I try? Thanks for your help.
You must use a second computer - like the one where you post now - go to the site of BleepingComputer, print out the instructions, download tools, etc. Because you can get into Safe Mode command prompt, you can copy the infected hard disk removal tools and use the CD command to navigate to the executable removal tool. This may or may not work for you. Instead, it is best to start the computer with a rescue CD antivirus such as those offered by F-Secure, Avira, etc.. Or work with a Bart PE with plugins antivirus/antispyware. These "recovery CD" could get the machine in pretty good shape for you to enter Windows and to carry out analyses, etc..
The easy solution and the best for a severely infected Windows machine must start with Linux Livecd like Knoppix, backup data on an external hard drive and doing a clean installation of Windows. If the girl is a young person, his Windows installation is probably not extremely complex and the clean install etc will be much less time than to use the methods described in paragraph 1. Of course, if you want to spend the time trying to clean instead, it is your choice.
Standard WARNING: the advanced practice of the malware removal requires a certain level of computer skills. You know better. If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Please be aware that not all shops are skilled at removing malware, and even if they are, your computer may be so infested that Windows will have to be properly installed. If possible, have all your data backed up before taking the machine into a shop. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

(Redirected) Dimension desktop computer infected with the Cryptowall virus
My mothers computer has been infected with the Cryptowall virus. She only uses it for the email there is really no important to worry about file. However, I don't want to do a cleanup on it with maybe a reformatting of the hard drive and then upgrade its antivirus software. The computer has been preloaded with Windows 8, but there is no backup disk to reinstall the operating system. Where should I start? I contact Dell with all the elements of computer here and get sort of a recovery disk?
Thank you!

Computer infected with the virus. USB drives no longer appear in Windows Explorer.
Original title: attack viruses, help...
My friend has a computer that is running windows XP. She asked for help on what to do when several virus has infected his computer.
I tried my best, but the virus has turned off. The Task Manager, msconfig are impossible to perform. the computer had a virus which is the reason why it continues to be infected. The last scan I made from a usb key which has been infected to leave the computer has revealed five different viruses and worms, each of them spread through usb drives. It's the worst case of infection, I had ever seen. I tried to scan with the scanner but it did not work. The computer crashed, and when I turned it on things have become much worse. USB drives no longer appear in the Explorer, the computer reads no more and the old xp theme has disappeared, his running today on classic. Help me please.Please follow the steps below:
On a friend or a member of the family computer, download the files installation and update Malwarebytes from the links below, copy them to a CD or a flash drive, then transfer the files on the problem machine and use them. If you cannot start the computer in 'normal' windows, try to install, update and running AFTER the computer scans are started in Mode safe... I use the sites below to download the installation file and the manual update:
Once downloaded and before moving the machine to the problem, rename the Setup file "mbam - setup.exe" to something like "Gogetum.exe", and then copy the installation file and the update on a CD or a flash drive file... Transfer the file to the problem machine, install the "Gogetum.exe" file, and then run the update for the current program... After that, run a full system scan and delete everything it finds.
Install Malwarebytes-download link (by clicking the links below will immediately start the download dialog window.)
http://www.Malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free>
Then download the SuperAntispyware program and the manual update of the links below. After you run the Malwarebytes tool that above, if you still cannot download and install directly from the problem machine, download it to a friend or a family member computer as well. After installation and update SuperAntispyware, run a full system scan and delete everything it finds as well. As before, you may need to rename the Setup file for the Setup program. :

fsmgroup called sayinhg that my computer has been infected with spyware
I had been contacted by twice saying that you had advised the (supposedly legitimate third-party provider you?) to call me as my computer ID showed that I had been infected with spyware + report fsmgroup error warning. I carefully allowed them remote access where they have ran spyware inf and demonstrated on a 1000 Trojans. I said several times that I wasn't going to buy anything and they said that they were not selling anything and that they were working on your behalf for me rid of bugs that will eventually lead to my PC to hang with a blue and black screen. However, the only way to solve the problem was to buy a plan. When I refused to purchase the plan, they started the files removed from my spyware in location, despite my asking them to stop - I turned off my computer to stop. I asked them why they did not respect my wishes and they couldn't answer. The person said it had deleted the wrong file and then hung up. I caused damage to my computer. I can see no longer the same disks and I thought that it had removed the demand of c: Windows drive | INF. There still a lot of files in this folder (more than 1000) which have been reproduced with an extention. PNF. Are these files malicious indeed, if yes, what can I do? Also it damage by deleting anything in this area. I ran Malwarebytes and found no errors.
I am very concerned. Please can you help.

In January of this year my computer would freeze, or be very slow in its normal operation. This happened constantly. I tried to verify that my windows update check to be sure that I was getting my automatic updates. I was unable to connect to Windows update, no matter how many times I tried. This never happened before. So, I thought that my inability to connect to verify Microsoft Updates could be related to my computer running at a slow speed and / or gel constantly upward. When the computer froze, the only way to recover was to hit the kill switch and crash the computer. After the reboot, the computer could work normally for a period of minutes and resume again slow down and not to freeze completely upwards. For weeks, a Microsoft Tech person (Kevin) worked with me by e-mail and tried to fix my computer problems. Kevin exerted a lot of patience and accompanied me through a series of steps designed to understand what the problem was and fix it. At the time where we ran a Microsoft Scan (Scan, I believe was the name One) followed by an analysis "HijackThis". Kevin then read the results of analysis and recommended destruction of vast print of HijackThis. This has made some slight improvement to operations. As Kevin has attempted to provide additional assistance, I left for vacation. I came back, I did a scan of Microsoft Essential that determined that my computer is infected with a virus called "Trojan:DOS / Alureon.A.
How do I rid my computer of this Trojan horse and restore my Microsoft updates and restore normal operation of the system?
Thanks, Ben

My computer is infected with a virus/bug I have checkd with Anti virus few records showed infected but could not withdraw, step by step programs stoped working, I tried all the things microsoft Web and other webs to run antispy etc, but nothing works programs start, but halfway to display error and stop now even explore stop working, now I had a white windoa screen opens more but I have a lot of data that is important, how to fix it? can anyone help please thanks
Raz2009,
If you have a known problem with the virus then I suggest to get an antivirus program that you can boot from and run it without starting Windows.Another option would be to format your drive and do a clean install of Windows (this would remove all the data of your drive). If you have a backup of your data, this is the best course of action. If you do not have a backup, you can then do a parallel install (This installs XP in a different folder if you don't lose any data). Here is an article on installation options: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316941

I think I got several phony calls claiming that my computer is infected with spyware.
I think I got several phony calls claiming that my computer is infected with spyware. They said that they were connected with Windows, so I asked if they were Microsoft and they said that no Microsoft would not call me. Wouldn't be a darn good Microsoft. The guy was Indian or Pakistani and wouldn't give me a company name, no matter how many times I asked.
They said they received reports from my computer it has been infected. The last call I let them go through their process to prove to myself that my computer has been infected. They told me to go to the event viewer, logs of windows, applications and said there will be errors and warnings there.
It was proof that he was infected and that they wanted to give me their approval to scan my computer so their 'Microsoft engineers' can solve the problem with Windows tools. At this point, after 20 minutes, I denied their access to the computer and hung up that it had no proof that I was worried. One of our friends had the same call on fixing Windows sound, she had an Apple Mac, I would have liked to see their difficulty its version of Windows.
I have 3 questions for this and they are: -.
1 can. anyone if your computer is infected using the event viewer?
2 can they tell if she is infected when the computer has a firewall and is also behind a router with a firewall?
3. I would be right in thinking that there is another form of the scam fake phone call?
1. If possible, get the errors or warnings in the event viewer is quite common, but say you have a virus just based on that, it's simply stupid.
2. they do what is called call cold. They call every phone # in the phone book and say "your computer is infected" even if you do not, Yes, it's a scam and yes they are stupid.
3. Yes. The only way they would be able to tell if your computer has a virus would be if they had access to it, and if they have BEEN with microsoft, which is not, it would be a breach of privacy.
