    Fake HDD linked with many other viruses crauto.dll Root kit


    Hi I am working on a friends computer that had gotten the smart HDD virus and it did the normal thing hidding file folders etc. etc.

    We ran malwarebytes and it found a toatal of 44 infections. They were deleted and i run unhide.exe

    It un hid all of his files but i think the comp is still infected due to slow performance command prompts showing up out of nowhere.

    The computer was infected through a fake adobe update.

    Since i thought he was still infected i ran some more scans with other programs he had pre installed on his machine.

    Spybot s&d found 3 more i cleaned them.

    I then ran BitDefender rescue cd and it found crauto.dll Trojan.Sirefef.BV

    I lookied online and it says it is a root kit. Before i delete it i am going to run it past you.



    I would give all the other virus info but currently i am booted in bitdefender and want to decide whether to delete this or not.

    Thanks

    Are you thinking that you can just delete a Rootkit?
    Rootkit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Some Trojan.Sirefef.BV infections contain trojan and keyloggers which can be used to steal sensitive data like passwords, credit card, bank account information etc.

    O boy root kits don't sound very fun I thought i might be able to get away with it due to there being root kit scanners. But it sounds like re installation of os is highly probable at this point.


    How about hitman pro? Would that help anything? Thanks

    That would be my instructions .... do a "Clean" install! Also, all passwords need to be changed.

    I talked to him and we agreed to reinstall and yes I talked about changing passwords on a known clean comp.

    I am backing up data and such


    Thanks for your help Wish it turned out better but this is how it goes sometimes
