Well, the rootkit listed above is a virus I believe. Also have Rootkit.Win32.TDSS.d Since Kaspersky wasn't doing anything, I unistalled it and installed Avast. Got multiple blue screen page faults on startup after that, apparently my system has become highly unstable. Finally managed to boot normally. Avast doesn't work at all, its there but corrupted, won't do a thing. Looks like I'm looking at a fresh OS reinstall about now, this thing is insidious and is always one step ahead.

RootKits are trojans not viruses. Viruses self replicate. That means once infected it will auto-infect other files (by appending, inserting or prepending code ), boot sectors and/or systems. Trojans may infect another file by appending, inserting or prepending code but that subsequent file doe not speread the infection. It is simply becoames "trojanized". You can't uninstall, replace and re-install fully installed antio virus applications like you've been doing. ** At this point, my advice is now to WIPE and RE-INSTALL the OS. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp

Well, the virus hosed Avast, seemed like an option worth trying, since the alternative is basically to reinstall the OS. Kaspersky detected the problem, was unable for whatever reason to do anything about it, so I moved on. At this point, since I've nothing left to lose, I'm going to unistall Avast [again] and try AVG. |
