empresssoul,

When you mentioned that MSE had found Alureon once again, I could not believe it, but thought perhaps a 0 byte partition was hanging somewhere, and I had overlooked it.

Not the case. Thank goodness!

Please go to C:\FRST and delete the entire FRST folder.

If it gives you attitude, since the malware moved to the Quarantine folder might resist deleting, then do the following:

Open a Command Prompt (Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt)
Right-click and select: Run as Administrator
At the blinking cursor, copy/paste (using the mouse) the following text inside the quote box:

rd /q/s c:\frst\Quarantine

Press: Enter

Now, also delete the FRST tool from the Desktop, as it is no longer needed.


When you are all done here, it is a good time to remove old restore points and create a new restore point to prevent possible reinfection from an old one.

Some of the malware you picked up could be saved in System Restore. Setting a new restore point after cleaning your system enables your computer to roll-back to a clean working state, if needed.

Go to Start > right-click Computer, and select: Properties
In the left panel select: System Protection
In the System Properties prompt, where it says: To configure restore settings...etc., press: Configure
At the next prompt, where it shows Delete all restore points...etc., select: Delete
Next, at the new prompt, press: Continue, and then, Close > OK

Back at System Properties, select drive C, and press: Create
At the prompt, give a name to the new restore point and press: Create
When finished, press: Close

Good luck!!

Lets work on the virus removal first .
