Have a great night

[Alina79]

hello again, now the computer works a lot better but after a boot time scan with Avast, the Alureon-K [Rtk] was still there, just as before

[LDTate]

Go here to run an online scannner from ESET.

Click the green ESET Online Scanner button.

Read the End User License Agreement and check the box: YES, I accept the Terms of Use.

Click on the Start button next to it.

You may receive an alert on the address bar that "This site might require the following ActiveX control...Click here to install...". Click on that alert and then click Insall ActiveX component.

A new window will appear asking "Do you want to install this software?"".

Answer Yes to download and install the ActiveX controls that allows the scan to run.

Click Start.

Check Remove found threats and Scan potentially unwanted applications.

Click Scan to begin.

If offered the option to get information or buy software. Just close the window.

Wait for the scan to finish

Use notepad to open the logfile located at C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt

Copy and paste that log as a reply to this topic.

PS now I get again redirected to advertising pages...

[LDTate]

Do you still have Combofix?

If so, run a new scan or download and run a new scan.

Please do not attach the scan results from Combofx. Use copy/paste.

Vista and Windows 7 users:

1. These tools MUST be run from the executable. (.exe) every time you run them

2. With Admin Rights (Right click, choose "Run as Administrator")

Download ComboFix from one of these locations:

Link 1

Link 2 If using this link, Right Click and select Save As.

* IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop

• Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools. Note: If you are having difficulty properly disabling your protective programs, or are unsure as to what programs need to be disabled, please refer to the information available through this link : Protective Programs
  
• Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.
  Notes: Combofix will run without the Recovery Console installed. Skip the Recovery Console part if you're running Vista or Windows 7.
  Note: If you have XP SP3, use the XP SP2 package.
  If Vista or Windows 7, skip the Recovery Console part
  
• As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal. It will allow you to boot up into a special recovery/repair mode that will allow us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware.
  
• Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console.
  

**Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.

Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see the following message:

Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware.

When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt using Copy / Paste in your next reply.

Notes:

1.Do not mouse-click Combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

2. ComboFix may reset a number of Internet Explorer's settings, including making I-E the default browser.

3. Combofix prevents autorun of ALL CD, floppy and USB devices to assist with malware removal & increase security. If this is an issue or makes it difficult for you -- please tell your helper.

4. CF disconnects your machine from the internet. The connection is automatically restored before CF completes its run. If CF runs into difficulty and terminates prematurely, the connection can be manually restored by restarting your machine.

Give it atleast 20-30 minutes to finish if needed.

Please do not attach the scan results from Combofx. Use copy/paste.

Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.

[Alina79]

I keep receiveing an error while trying to run combofix, I get kicked out from the Internet and I can't restart from the Start button

[LDTate]

When you restart the computer do you see the option to start in the Recovery Console?

[Alina79]

I guess...I don't remember if the name is exactly this one, I remembered smth like "Restart in the safe mode": is it the same?

[LDTate]

No Safe Mode isn't the same.

Combofix installed the Recovery Console

You can try Safe Mode if Recovery Console isn't a option and try Combofix.

Do you have your Windows CD or was Windows pre-installed?

[Alina79]

I just saw Recovery Console. I don't have the Windows CD, it was pre-installed and then a friend changed Windows 7 with XP.

I confirm that I can't restart using the Start button, I can only press the ON/OFF button.

[LDTate]

1. Select to boot into the Recovery Console

2. When the "Welcome to Setup" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.
