  Hi StethoscopeJan,

  I suggest that you want to run virus scan in safe mode with network.

   

  Step 1

  Start your computer in safe mode

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  Note: When the boot advanced options select Safe mode with network.

  Step 2

  Run Microsoft Online Scanner.

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

• I have a rootkit virus Win: 32 driver alueron

  I have a virus that is a root on my portable kit. I tried to use avast awsMBR remover and Dr. web, kaspersky, sophos, but none of them will be removed. It will not connect to the internet so I'm transfer programs on my laptop to try to remove it.

  Rootkits can transform and change of identity on your operating system and are difficult to locate and remove and many computing professionals recommend a reinstall of the operating system in order to ensure that the rootkit is removed.

  Trust the programs you use are online scanners and not the AV programs that have been installed and are potentially in conflict with easch other.

  If you use Avast as your residents AV program have contacted support Avast?

  See if what follows will help you: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/protect/forum/protect_scanning/how-do-i-fully-remove-trojandropperwin32alureony/d952ee26-9a01-430b-b6e2-7fd7ac9eee04

  If TDSS Killer by Kaspersky does not delete malware, you may need to reformat/reinstall your operating system.

  Good luck...

• I have a rootkit virus passes on a level that I don't see with unix-like software. How can I get rid of this one once and for all?

  We are entering battles if I try to maintain security by traditional means, but they have quite me. Setting up of the files using the highest levels of security and this has greatly affected my ability to work, even though I know they all have my account numbers, SS, anniversary, license etc. You have to find a security specialist, and if so how can I go about it?

  Hi Tomrees,

  ·         What type of virus from your computer is infected by?

  ·         What security software is installed on your computer?

  ·         You receive an error message or error code?

  ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  I suggest you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  Important: While hard disk analysis if bad sectors are found when scanning try to repair this area, all available on which data can be lost.

  I hope this helps.

• SUSPECTED MALWARE ROOTKIT SLOW PC

  My HP PC (Windows 7-32 bit, browser IE 10) runs slowly and often in place.

  I ran RogueKill on her cleaning tool, and in the process tab, it comes back with:

  Status [NoKill}  Type Proc.Svhost PID 9612 name svchost.exe C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe path (the entire line is Hi-lighted in RED)

  It also takes back me to a RootKit's AdLice.com tutoring site because it has detected a SSDT hook, which sounds and looks very disturbing, but it is above my note to understand what all this means.

  When I try to use MS Fixit to http://support.microsoft.com/fixit , I get the same error message following any topic I try:

  Troubleshooting cannot continue because an error has occurred.

  We're sorry, but the program encountered a runtime error. Please try again later. [Code 80040402]

  I tried again later. The same thing all over again. Can you tell me what is happening? Or a solution to my situation? Thank you.

  Hello

  If you have a rootkit hang a routine low level and/or through SSDT function, run GMER - http://www.gmer.net/

• HP Pavilion Notebook-15-p108tx: problem connecting with specific programs

  Hi, I had problems connecting with specific programs recently. I'm still able to communicate online through web browsers. Mozilla Firefox works fine, but Google Chrome still has some problems loading of specific pages or they don't load at all. The main programs I am having difficulties with are mainly games platform programs like Steam, Battle.net, and League of Legends, and I'm unable to go online or to connect to their servers.

  I never had no problem connecting like these last two years that I've owned my laptop, until recently. I think it was the 6th or 7th of may these problems started.

  I updated my drivers and was constantly check to download the most recent. I don't know if it's my internet provider, but I was also constantly check the State of the network to ensure that the services are very good.

  If anyone else has this problem and if there are any suggestions that you think could help solve this problem, it would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hi Jasper,.

  Thank you for the update. I think that your computer have a rootkit infection. Most of them were inside of the Chrome Extensions.

  Here's what you need to do.

  Open chrome

  Click on the Menu bar in the upper right

  Click more tools

  Click Extensions

  Please search for suspicious extensions that does not belong to the computer, especially ads. Once you identified, simply click the trash can icon then Chrome close then reopen it again to see if you can connect to your desired game. If this isn't the case, then proceed as follows.

  Manual removal of suspicious files (if you are uncomfortable with it. If this is not the case, then run System Restore from safe mode with command prompt)

  Manual removal (I miss the old days of MS virus removal )

  Go to RUN type %temp% , and then delete all folders by pressing SHIFT + DELETE

  Go to Control Panel and then locate all the apps that you think a form of ads

  Go to safe mode with network. Run Malwarebytes in that State

  Then run Tweaking tool to fix everything that has changed since your computer

  http://www.Tweaking.com/files/setups/Tweaking.com_windows_repair_aio_setup.exe

  If your not comfortable with the troubleshooting steps may perform the system restore on the day, it was working fine.

• There are recent updates of problem?

  Equipped with Vista 64 - bit SP2 with Trend Micro & Malwarebytes.  Have not run updates in a few months, and ran 7 Office 2003 updates & 20 updates Vista last night.  Computer crashed as a result of updates - blue screen of death.  Restored the system to a date earlier and everything works fine now.  However, I do want to have a repeat event.  Is there a list somewhere of specific updates for Office 2003 and Vista that caused problems?  Dates published for updates will charge from 3/9 to 22/06 / 10.

  There is a "known" problem where root machines to equip themselves get a bsod with the
  kernel updates.
   
  Of patching patches... by themselves don't cause BSOD. There are
  anything else on the system that is causing the BSOD.
   
  Run malwarebytes.org on your computer, can you have a rootkit and
  That's what triggered the BSOD.
   

• The atapi.sys is in use try to close

  I am trying to update Win XP with Service Pack 3 and get the error above.  I don't have alcohol 120% or Daemon Tools installed. I don't have a RAiD drive.

  What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?

  A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on the computer (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?

  I suspect that you have a rootkit infection W32/Alureon-variant on your hands, Doug. :(

• Problem with Vista Service pack 2

  Like a fool, I downloaded and installed this service pack.  Now my computer restarts.  I spent 12 hours with the technicians MSFT trying to solve the problem, and I still have the problem.  MSFT says the problem with my DELL hard drive.  DELL said that the hard drive is fine.

  I even reinstalled windows - take 3 hours - and I still have the same problem.  I tried to start in safe mode but after loading the files a few dozens, my computer crashes.   I can't to windows to open.  I can't go to my office.  I can't remove this insidious update.

  I can't completely clean the computer I have important files that I'm going to lose.  MSFT and DELL say I need to have a tech shop and have them remove the disc and save my files.  I want to know who will pay for what is not my fault.

  Help, please

  Hello

  One of the easiest ways to remove your data is put the drive in an external USB enclosure and
  Copy the files to a different drive or just use this as an external drive and install a new in your
  computer. Don't forget that looks like the system has problems and I bet it's the hard drive
  drive interface controller card mother.

  Another real possibilities, is that you have a Rootkit that is causing the problem.

  Good luck.

• Windows Update fails with error 0 x 80244004. Do NOT use Eset.

  When I try to update Windows I get the error that could not display the page with error code 0 x 80244004.

  I am running XP SP3.

  New facility for many years.

  ESET doesn't work DO NOT and never have.

  Run Avast. As an experiment I uninstalled Avast and tried to update without any AV, but still had a problem.

  Virus scan with Avast, Malwarebytes and TDSSKiller that all come clean.

  System may have a rootkit a while back that has been cleaned.

  Proxy has been verified using the proxycfg, no proxy and IE options.

  I don't know exactly when the problem started since I use this computer mainly for file strage and backup and I don't check it that often.

  Installed Java version is version 7 update 21. All previous versions have been removed.

  What else did I miss?

  Thank you!

  I have solved this problem. I downgraded from Microsoft Update, Windows Update. I'm able to install updates with Windows Update. Once made this series of updates, I'll try the upgrade to Microsoft Update and see what happens.

• What is the prevalence of viruses, malware, etc., to be hidden and undetectable by anti-virus software?

  • As before, when my computer when my computer has been infected, I get a svchost.exe error, repeatedly, whenever I restart the computer. The infection has been discovered that the last time by my anti-virus software, because it was hidden.  It was a computer expert on this forum who told me my computer was infected by svchost.exe repeated error messages that I received.  I ran my Avast software, anti-malware software from MSFT Security Center, Win Defender, etc. this time, and it has detected no infections.  (Yes, I know what to do to pass this message means not necessarily my computer is infected, but the tech guy said that it is likely, given that the error message appeared on several occasions).  How detect and destroy the virus/malware hidden, etc?
  • Also, if anyone can answer another question... I was told that it is not recommended that I have two programs of anti-virus software, which I do - Win Defender and Avast (I guess they may conflict).  I tend to want to keep Avast, but would like to know if I have to keep Win Defender instead, because it is a Win a Win system program.  If I've got this me getting rid of one of them, is it recommended that I both uninstall and then reinstall one of them?

  A person help would be appreciated!

  Thnx, Dharma

  WHAT I HAVE: Win XP Media Center, MS Office 7 Professional (used at home), IE8, Outlook 7, HP w / 32-bit dual core processor, latest version of Avast & Win Defender, Srvc Pack 2 and 3 (although I know that I don't need 3 because I have not upgraded to Win 7, but it won't let me uninstall it!) and regularly updates Win.

  PS Please ask questions if you have, before you answer, so it will be less likely that I'll get the wrong answers that don't relate directly my questions! (Can say you that has already happened?  (LOL).

  You pouvez have a type of rootkit of malware infection.  Rootkits can transform and change of identity on your OS (and are difficult to detect and remove) and many computing professionals recommend a reinstall of the operating system in order to ensure that the rootkit is removed.

  Follow the suggestions in the Brian - post.  The link that he provided is an excellent reference.   If you have a rootkit, TDSS Killer or one of the other programs listed pourrait be able to remove it.

  You can also:

  You can get free help in the removal of malware from MS Support here: http://supportservices.microsoft.com/support/services/virus_malware_removal

  If you are in North America, you can call the MS Support to 866-727-2338 for help with infections of virus and spyware.

  For international information see your subsidiary local technical support site.

  Or get assistance from Avast at: http://www.avast.com/support

  You have SP3 on your Win XP OS and if you plan to switch to Win 7 make sure that your processor and RAM will manage Win 7... with your history of technology issues a reformatting/clean install of Win 7 would be a good idea.  Because of the possibility of conflicts, I do not recommend using Windows Defender with Avast or any other resident AV program.  Suggest uninstall you Windows Defender in Control Panel.  MSE and several other AV programs require the removal of Windows Defender in XP (or disabling the Defender in Vista and Win 7).

  Kind regards...

• How can I get rid of this virus?

  I have WebrootAnywhere on my computer (drafted by a professional).  I have a root Virus any and he will not be cured by running webroot.

  How can I get rid of this?  It affects the use of the Internet and a computer analysis very slow.

  You mean you have a rootkit? You may need to run TDSSkiller from Kaspersky. Also programs like Kaspersky Virus Removal tool, malwarebytes, superantispyware, scan microsoft security. If you are unable to access the internet from this computer, then you must download on another computer and place it on your computer in reader flash etc.. You can do this during the boot safe mode (press F8 repeatedly when you turn on the computer) because some viruses can copy themselves to removable media. First run TDSSkiller then scan with anti-virus.

• not able to access Microsoft website and antivirus

  I now use another computer. My own machine running windows xp sp3. The Internet works except that I can't access Microsoft Internet site and anti-virus. In safe mode, the internet works perfectly with full site access. There is no any firewall or anti-virus installed software, so it is not blocked by the firewall. I did the Bitdender anti-scan antivirus, spybot, Malwarebyte s, Ad-aware, FixBlast + FixMydoom of scan of Symantec and CCleaner. But the problem is still there. I searched well internet, but none of the works of the solutions. Microsoft, anyone help me solve this problem please?

  If this computer has been on the Internet without an antivirus and a firewall installed, backup your data and do a clean install of Windows. Despite your scans, the symptoms you describe are caused by an infection. You can have a rootkit that is not visible to Windows programs. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!
