Alureon Rootkit Striked me bad. HELP Please!
Hello dear Windows Users. This is my first post here, because the problem is so serious that even I couldn't remove it (or I'm not sure i did).Problem: I got infected by the so famous Alureon rootkit.Reason:I believe it was Windows Update. I updated Windows 2 months ago and after that windows had to restart. I restarted windows and it load perfectly, but when i clicked Internet Explorer to make sure there are no new updates ,my computer got attacked by at least 10-13 viruses/worms. My AV -> Avast! Internet Security went crazy it was like: a thread was detected,a thread was detected, a thread was detected, a thread was detected so i didn't waited for it to remove them i was very shocked so i emidietly restarted the computer. That was my BIGGEST mistake. After the restarted avast cleaned a few worms in the temporary folders but those worms were just... a small fry. The real deal is that Alureon that got injected somewhere.Symptoms: - The Internet Explorer massive attack. - Blue Screens of Death on startup pointing to important system files, windows loads after the 5-th restart.- Sometimes i get Folders Restrictions -> Your current security settings do not allow you.. bla bla (settings change)What have i used to optimize the pc and remove the errors & viruses (Optimizors) :- Win XP Optimizer: 4 times - Error Repair Professional: 4 times- Speed UP My PC: 4 times- PC Health Advisor: 4 times- Driver Scanner: 4 times- CCleaner: 4 times- Registry Mechanic: 4 times- Advanced System Optimizer: 4 times - Your Uninstaller: 4 times- HiJackThis: 2 times- Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool: 2 times- Avast! Internet Security: 1 all disks, normal, max and 1 System Boot Scan I've tried even more stuff (those are my usual optimizers)... nothingI would like to add:It was much more bad then it sounds in the beginning. It even tried to still some of my acc's, now all that is left are the Blue Screens on startup. Avast! Security is one of the best AV's out there it scans everything that's happening and i have no notifications of rootkits since it happened. I know that it hides it's self but i can't even see it running in task manager... I guess it runs only till windows loads... PLEASE HELP ME! P.S.:- Formating Disks, Reinstalling Windows, Updating to Windows Vista/7 or Linux or any other O.S. are not an option.1 person got this answerI do too
