Valious_299 Posted June 6, 2013 ID:688043 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I recently received a laptop from a friend who needed some viruses removed, I don't remember all the exact viruses, Moneypak/FBI and rouge Security Software were two major problems that I immediately discovered. After getting a go ahead from said friend I proceeded to do a reformat however I did not use the recovery partition or use any recovery disks. Toshiba Satellite Win 7 Hom Pre 64 bitI reformatted the laptop's C: drive with a (bloatware / shovelware free) .iso copy of Win 7 Hom Pre 64 bit. I installed AVG 2013 and Malwarebytes then ran the scans, with nothing of immediate concern. Then proceeded to update the Win 7, MSERT popped up (and keeps popping up) with a Trojan:DOS/Alureon.K Partially removed scan result.I've since learned that Alureon.K infects the Master Boot Record and/or the other Boot Record. I have four partitions on this hard drive the only one that's labeled is (C:). Two are Primary Partitions but one partition has 0 MB cap / 0 MB free / one partition has 8.95 GB cap / 8.95 GB free. The last partition is a recovery partition 1.46 GB cap / 1.46 GB free. I don't know if Alureon.K would be hiding in one of those other partitions.I've also ran TDSSKiller with and without Loaded Modules, with Loaded Modules I got no problem, without Loaded Modules I got Physical drive: \Device\Hardisk0\DR0 and took no action (skipped). I used my 4 GB USB Flash Drive to run the TDSSK, I did not put it on the desktop however. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valious_299 Posted June 6, 2013 Author ID:688091 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I updated then ran the MBAR it found one malware piece which I thought what it might have been, one of the partitions.Anyways Windows Updates ran before I learned about Alureon.K, I don't want to download if there is anything that still needs to get done per your instructions.Windows Firewall is active I didn't check before I learned about the Alureon.K infection, but I figured I was slightly safer since I was wired to my router, if Windows Firewall wasn't on before it is now.My Internet Access was never "compromised" before I learned about the Alureon.K and my Internet Access still works now.After MBAR ran and cleaned up I was never asked by the program to restart, would it still be a good idea to restart?mbar-log-2013-06-06 (14-48-44).txtsystem-log.txt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valious_299 Posted June 6, 2013 Author ID:688116 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Two registries popped up, I feel like I may have made a mistake during the MBAR process, maybe by creating a restore point or maybe since the restart prompt didn't come up, I may have jumped over that as in didn't run MBAR a second time.Unless those are the registries that you're looking for.RKreport3_S_06062013_02d1649.txt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valious_299 Posted June 6, 2013 Author ID:688126 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I'll post the logs I got from TDSSKiller from earlier today compared to the ones I just ran.Also I didn't disable my AVG protection after the restart (I set it to disable until restart) although, I don't think it had much of an impact as AVG didn't pick up anything. In other words I hope it didn't alter anything (I wouldn't assume it would since I ran TDSSKiller earlier with AVG on).TDSSKiller.2.8.16.0_06.06.2013_11.25.24_log.txtTDSSKiller.2.8.16.0_06.06.2013_11.33.36_log.txtTDSSKiller.2.8.16.0_06.06.2013_17.05.48_log.txtTDSSKiller.2.8.16.0_06.06.2013_17.09.04_log.txt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valious_299 Posted June 6, 2013 Author ID:688131 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Actually you have the older one, the newer log file 17.09.04 is the current one, and no threats have been found on TDSSKiller, I should have made that clearer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valious_299 Posted June 6, 2013 Author ID:688141 Share Posted June 6, 2013 AVG 2013 and Malwarebytes, one real time scanner and one user run program shouldn't cause any major conflicts? Is AVG 2013 or any free antivirus with a real time scanner, I know that every real time scanner / antivirus program is slightly different do you have any opinion on one over the other?Also thanks for guiding me through that process, I think I provided enough information, did you notice anywhere I could have helped improve the process?
