Get a virus = Trojen Win32 Sirefef.AH.
Have tried to use essential Windows and Malwarebytes and they confirm their action that cleaned, but seems nothing to remove it permanently. Help
Hello
I deleted successfully this virus today from XP Home. I'm expecting the same procedure to work on Vista but cannot guarantee this. The latest definitions for the MSE and MBAM were ineffective (MSE found but couldn't get rid of it, just MBAM did not) but I was able to clean with SUPERAntiSpyware. However, I do this kind of thing for a living and what I've done is not possible for you...
- Get any browser to download whatever it is that may be useful proved impossible, so I removed the hard drive and plugged into one of my PC (which I use only for occasions like this), so that the boot partition, it is now a data partition in my PC.
- I ran SAS full scan on the boot partition (after making sure has been updated) and it found and removed several items.
- I replaced the drive in the original PC and the PC booted OK, only found MSE sirefef in restore points so I disabled the system restore and then turned it back to make sure that all other instances of sirefef would be eliminated.
- Connectivity Internet could not be established, it's becase SAS has deleted the file as part of its disinfection netbt.sys.
- I restored this file to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers of internet connectivity and returned C:\Windows\System32\dllcache. This piece will be different under Vista.
- I removed MSE, downloaded and installed the AIRLOCK and did a full scan which found no other trace of sirefef
I hope this helps. If you have questions about any step please after return.
It may be possible for you to download SAS to another PC and install it on your PC as an alternative to remove the hard drive and insert into another PC. Do not try to transfer the hard drive to another PC yourself unless you are comfortable doing so. If you decide to do you should stop both PC and unplug the power outlet and also take precautions to avoid damage to static electricity.
Even though my PC is not affected by this, doesn't mean that it will be OK for you - there may be variants of sirefef here or there may be other malware and more sirefef on your drive.

Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.
-
You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.
-
Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To do that click on start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

When you get your system in good working condition, I invite you to back up your system up to an external hard drive and make it regular periodic updates.

I ran several analyzers antivirus from AVG to ODILE and none of them does not seem to get rid of this virus (Exploit: win32 / pdfjsc.dr)
Any suggestions apart from simply all formatting?
Hello
Exploit: Win32 / Pdfjsc.Dr
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/portal/threat/encyclopedia/entry.aspx?name=exploit%3aWin32%2fPdfjsc.DrIf you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be harder to detect as
the cause.No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
the regular windows when you can.TDSSKiller.exe. - Download the desktop - so go ahead and right-click on it - RUN AS ADMIN
It will display all the infections in the report after you run - if it will not run changed the name of
TDSSKiller.exe to tdsskiller.com. If she finds something or not does not mean that you should not
check with the other methods below.

What I have to reinstall windows to completely remove Trojan: Win32 / Sirefef: AH
I ran the Scanner from Microsoft for a complete analysis and he said I have the Trojan: Win32 / Sirefef: OH and it has only been partially deleted. He said I might have to reinstall windows - which is another option, I can try first?
Also, I have McAfee Total Protection - it's up-to-date (supposedly) but this is not the first time that the safety of MS Scanner found things - what is happening with this?

If you register for official or legal sites so the chances of getting the computer infected with the virus is very less. But I recommend you to have security software such as applications anitvirus installed and activated on the computer for security and protection issues.

Scan of Malware in Safe Mode with network.
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/how-to-start-Windows-in-safe-mode/#winxo
Windows XP
Using the F8 method:
- Restart your computer.
- When the machine starts first, yet once it will list usually some equipment that is installed on your machine, amount of memory, hard drives installed etc. At this point you should tap the F8 key repeatedly until you are presented with a menu of Advanced Options in Windows XP.
- Select the Safe Mode with networking option using the arrow keys.
- Then press enter on your keyboard to start safe mode.
- Make all the necessary tasks and when finished restart to start in normal mode.
Once in Safe Mode with network, download and run RKill.
RKill does NOT remove the malware; It stops the Malware process that gives you a chance to remove it with your security programs.

Then, download, install, update and scan your system with the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware in Mode safe mode with networking:

As of Windows XP support ends in 2014, will I still be able to get anti virus updates and all the months of security beyond 2014 for Windows XP patches?
From April 2014, no security/more operating system patches released at Microsoft (for the most part) for Windows XP. It's a BONE death in the eyes of its creator.
Your anti-virus software may or may not be supported - which depends on its own end of life such as decided by its supplier, and even if it is a Microsoft product, is not directly related to the lifecycle of Windows XP (you can say that as Windows XP came with no native antivirus/antimalware features.)
