Chris: Sorry it took so long to get back. Seagate sent me a reply and stated that my hard drive had or was failing. No response from Microsoft yet. I tried the Kaspersky rescue CD but it failed to run. It would load so far and then back out and shut down. I suspect it is because of the bad hard drive. I tried starting My desktop again with the Laptop drive in as a slave but with Microsoft Security Essentials blocks the trogen (dos/Alureon.A) and then shuts my computer down. So Since the hard drive is declared bad by Seagate there is no chance of saving the hard drive or the information on it. I guess you can close this thread. I do want to thank you again for helping me. Shoupsr

Chris: Seagate's Tech Support has not replied but don't expect an answer for a few days yet. This morning I installed the drive out of the laptop in my desktop wow. As soon as it found new drive MS security essentials flagged a problem. (Trogen Dos/alureon.A) I clicked on Security essentials to remove but it run for awhile and then a dos screen came up and said windows had been shutdown to protect the computer. Had some error codes. I had to force shutdown and reboot the computer after removing the laptop hard drive. I am sending the error codes to microsoft. It will take some time to get an answer from them and I have to go to Salt Lake today and will not be back until next Wednesday evening. I will report back when I get more information. Shoupsr.

Sorry I am so late with reply. No the Avira scan did not finish, the drive light stayed on but there was no activity so I finaly turned it off. It did not show any more than "trogenhorse tr/dropper.gen" in a file listed as "aolpub.exe". Since the process stopped the same when trying to load Windows I decided to run Segate's Sea Tools and the Short test failed. "DST failed Electrical Element" Long test passed.I don't know what DST failed means but have Email in to Seagate's Tech Support. I belive my hard drive is toast. Before I ran the Mbam and Defogger I ran the Diagnostics on the drive in the setup and It checked OK. Sure would have liked to got some files off of it. I do want to thank you for your help. Shoupsr

I tried all the different types of safe modes listed no joy in any of them. I am running the Avira rescue system now so far 1 detection (TR/Dropper.gen) and 1 alert (unexpected end of file) and it is still running. Will send more when it is done. How late do you work the form? Shoupsr

When booting to safe mode it starts loading and then just stops with a window full of drivers. The last one listed is system32\drivers\Mup.sys

The CD load Windows but stalls after hitting enter at the options window and comes back with "the disk or CD you inserted may be damaged. Make sure you have the correct cd and try again" I hit enter and it says insert the correct CD and hit enter. then it just loops between the two screens. I tried the CD in an identical Laptop I borrowed from a friend and it works fine all the way through the repair process.

I ran the MBAM first and copied log to flash drive since I could not get on the internet, then I ran Defogger and when rebooted it would not start in any mode. The laptop is an HP pavillion dv8110. I do not have any disk for it. but have a Windows XP CD available.

I had some malware and run Mbam and removed untill Mbam said it was clean. Still having trouble with Iexplorer 8. Decided to post here for help. Started following instructions in your What do I do now post. After running DeFogger to disable CD emulation drivers the Laptop will not boot in any mode. Mbam Log followes. Hope you can help.
