I have alureon.e Trojan on my pc and I can't get rid of

Have been posted on another forum but apparently you guys might be able to help me again.

I have windows xp and microsoft security essentials - and this virus.

Things I've downloaded;

TDSSKiller from Kaspersky

Malwarebytes

SUPERAntiSpyware

None of them have worked, they do not even see it. Now I am told I need to "format my drive" or something - stripping basically my pc back to essentially naked so that I can start again. My knowledge of the inner workings of a pc is zilch, can barely operate the front so you can imagine I do things with a few trepadation...

Have no external hard drive, and although about 50% of my day to day stuff is saved the clouds and sticks, it is quite still. Don't want to lose all my emails and email addresses again, as I work from home (use outlook express) and have no idea how support this thesis.

This Trojan horse has been on my pc for almost 2 weeks now and so far I have suffered no ill effects (apart from the personal feelings of intense frustration and fleeting paranoia) so I was wondering what would happen if I just left...?

Hello

I don't know if you are able or even able to do, but just now I removed alureon with the following...

Make sure you are saved and have the ability to do a full restore, if things go wrong. This procedure should be a last resort. It is has the potential for dangerous consequences, especially if done by people without proper knowledge/experience.

  • On your PC to rewrite the boot sector of the hard disk by starting a utility on optical media. This support must be created on a malware free PC. I used an old version of Seagate SeaTools, but I guess something like boot from Hiren's CD to provide this facility too Hirens.BootCD.15.1.zip
  • On another Windows PC get the AV solution up-to-date (I used MSE)
  • Remove the hard disk and place it in the other PC
  • Scan the drive and remove malware
  • Replace the drive in the original PC

If you are not comfortable with this date, if you want to go this route, my advice is take it to a store and show them this message. Maybe they want to make their way instead of that way. If you can, take the recommendation of a friend/colleague who has used the store and had a satisfcatory result.

  • I have files on my compputer I do not, how can I get rid and how do I know if I won't have this file again?

    My computer is running very slowly and I need to get rid of some files, especially those that I don't use. How can I start I am 70 years old and computer iliterate

    The best thing to do is to do nothing.

    Deleting the files from your pc won't have a significant effect on improving the performance.

    If the computer is running slowly, there could be a variety of reasons for this.

    You should also be more specific about what, exactly, is running slowly, arguably, for example, that it took WORD 20 seconds to open: that way, we know that it is the WORD that is slow and not something else.

    Take a look at these articles that can provide you with more insight on performance issues that you are experiencing: -.

    ATTENTION: If you make any changes do the easy ones first, make sure that they work and that there are no problems after having made the changes that you could make: perhaps wait a week and then continue on the next amendment.

    If you are computer illiterate, as you say you are, then proceed with caution.

  • I have an element (Web page) on the new tab at the bottom of the page that will not respond to everything I do and I can't get rid of...

    It seems to take place, because I can't get 8 items on the page.

    You can zoom in on the page (hold down the CTRL key and press the key once or twice) to fit more.

    Firefox can not remember unless you also disable a setting. You can do so here:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press enter/return. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste newtab and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference browser.newtab.preload to change its value from true to false

    After the change, if you have any 'new tab' pages open, close them and open a new one change, the zoom setting and now we must remember.

    If you do not want to reduce the zoom level, there are some add-ons to change the page. What follows is often referred to:

  • I have an empty box on my bookmarks toolbar, I can't get rid of that.

    As of today, I have an empty box on my personal bar that I can't get out. It comes after the > > icon where I see more bookmarks, but it is related to the bookmarks toolbar that it disappears when I uncheck this bar. I tried to customize, and I can't move or delete the box.

    Hi James,

    I tried what cor - el has suggested, and I found the problem to be the addition of the Page Zoom for me: disabled, and the box went. I was unable to remove the box using the first method cor - el suggested. This issue arose for me today as well, and I had Zoom Page installed for at least a few months, so I don't know what the case. I hope you have the same module installed, cheers!

  • I have this volume box that comes up constantly on my screen and I can't get rid of it.

    I don't see if there was a response because it

    box will not disappear, can you help me to get rid of it?

    Hello

    (1) when exactly you receive the volume box?

    (2) have you made any changes to the computer before the show?

    (3) what operating system is installed on the computer?

    Method 1: Start the computer in clean boot in order to check whether a third-party program is causing the problem. To configure your computer to clean boot see the following link.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: when you are finished troubleshooting, follow step 7 article to start on normal startup.

    Method 2: I also suggest to run a full system scan using Microsoft Security Scanner and check if the computer is infected with the virus.

    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 program called automotive service, it shows no source and I can't remove it, I suspect a problem

    The only results of a Google search for "Autocare" to bring up links to a legitimate program called Autocare, apparently to have something to do with the car maintenance. Without knowing more about your computer and find out where you see the program what exactly 'impossible to remove that' means (have you uninstall it? it is even installed?), all I can say, is that you perform the fundamental step to ensure that your computer is free of viruses/malware first:

    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). If possible, have all your data backed up before taking the machine into a shop. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • I have a tree without end of links that I can't get rid of

    A few days ago I tried to use robocopy to do a backup of my "User" folder on another laptop computer in network. Unfortunately, I forgot to use the /XJD. switch Now I have a 500 GB drive that is saturated due to an endless loop of records "Application Data" nested in the other with a casual Adobe folder thrown in. I tried to manually delete the directory tree but get him "...". path is too long.. "error in Windows. I get similar questions in a command prompt cmd by using RD (remove directory).

    I tried to use the script at the address, use robocopy again to remove the folder through /mir below switch structure. Yet once, it failed after 12 min due to the track being too long. Whenever I run the batch file, the run time keeps getting shorter and I am always left with a folder tree without end of the 'Application Data' folder. I managed to release 100 GB in this way, but I still could not get rid of the folder.
    I would like to avoid formatting the drive as he always gave him on it that I want and no place to put it right now. If I have to format the drive, just wait until I can pick up a spare part in the future to move the data off the coast.
    Does anyone have a suggestion how to remove this link of circular reference directory?

  • Why my dads account Windows Live Mail have much more FONTS, (including the one I have want - old English) than mine? And how can I get all the other FONTS? Thank you.

    My father and I have a very similar computer (his has a little more memory, until I bought a thing of 1000 mb storage) we have almost the same e-mail program, but it flows from Telus, I run Hotmail. There are many more fonts included in its ability to e-mail. How can I get all those other fonts, I change the fonts almost all the letters that I write. Thank you for your help, and I hope that I have explained myself enough.

    A computer has a folder of fonts.  Some fonts come with the computer, some are added by installed programs, and some can be added by the user.

    When you do anything on the computer, in the folder fonts fonts are used.

    When you create an html e-mail, or the word document, the font is a part of the information stored by email or document.

    Fonts do not attach to e-mail or in this document.

    When another computer displays the e-mail or document, the police does not exist on this computer.  Another font will be used.

    The only way to have your email look exactly as you created it is to send a photo of the enamel.
