Inactive Sirefef... darn you!!!

Although I wasn't able to delete the old restore points as mentioned above, I moved on with the remainder of the steps. I ran OTC, CCleaner, and Security Check.

Here is the checkup.txt:

I noticed it says my service pack is out of date, however windows update has failed to download and install the latest service pack for the past several months. I have gone through all of the suggestions from the help tab, but nothing helps it update successfully. Also, my java just popped up trying to update after OTC rebooted the comp, but I bypassed the update, trying to refrain from downloads until Ive been declared clean!
 
Your logs appear to be clean. If there are no more issues, then we shall clean up!
You were declared clean...

Java Update!

Please download the newest version of Java from Java.com.

Before installing: it is important to remove older versions of Java since it does not do so automatically and old versions still leave you vulnerable.
Go to the Control Panel and enter Add or Remove Programs (Programs and Features in Vista/7).
Search in the list for all previous installed versions of Java. (J2SE Runtime Environment). Please uninstall/remove each of them.

Once old versions are gone, please install the newest version.

For the service pack...

  1. Go to the Windows 7 Service Pack 1 download webpage on the Microsoft website, and then click Continue.
  2. Choose either the 32-bit (x86) or the 64-bit (x64) version of SP1 depending on whether you're running the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of Windows 7, and then click Download.
    • To find out which version you're running, click the Start button

      , right-click Computer, and then click Properties. Under System, next to System type, you can view the operating system.
  3. To install SP1 immediately, click Open or Run, and then follow the instructions on your screen. To install SP1 later, click Save and download the installation file to your computer. When you're ready to install SP1, double-click the file.
  4. On the Install Windows 7 Service Pack 1 page, click Next.
  5. Follow the instructions on your screen. Your computer might restart during the installation.
  6. After installation is complete, log on to your computer at the Windows logon prompt. You might see a notification indicating whether the update was successful.
  7. If you disabled your antivirus software, enable it again.

Let me know how it all works out...
 
As soon as I deleted the old java, I turned on MSE which proceeded to run a quick scan and found a Trojan- DOS/alureon.a. I clicked the option to clean and it said it removed successfully but then it also had a pop up which said the cleaning wasnt complete and that iI needed to download windows defender offline in order to finish. It then said I needed to restart my computer to complete. What's happening?? I haven't downloaded anything new and have been running so many scans. It makes no sense that it would get reinfected so quickly!!
 
Rewinding time...

Doubleclick on TDSSKiller.exe to run the application, then click on Change parameters.

Here's a summary of what to do if you would like to print it out:

If a suspicious object is detected, the default action will be Skip, click on Continue
If you get the warning about a file UnsignedFile.Multi.Generic or LockedFile.Multi.Generic please choose
Skip and click on Continue

If malicious objects are found, they will show in the Scan results and offer three (3) options.

Ensure Cure is selected, then click Continue => Reboot now to finish the cleaning process.
Note: If Cure is not available, please choose Skip instead, do not choose Delete unless instructed.
 
The option to run as administrator does not appear when I right click the program. I am running windows 7. I tried double clicking and that brings me to the open with... screen. I did not know which program to choose, I didn't think I needed a specific program to host the killer. What do I do?
 
Please reboot to Safe Mode (tap the F8 key just before Windows starts to load and select the Safe Mode option from the menu). Then, try again...
 
Same things happens in safe mode; no option to run as admin, double clicking makes me choose a program to run with.
 
I noticed some system 32 drivers had a capital "S" for system and some had a lower case "s" at the beginning when safe mode was booting. Could those different ones be the virus disguising itself?
 
It makes no difference for the capital versus lower-case S.

Try this tool, and then after that try the tool before that I asked for....

Please download and run RKill.

Download mirror 1 - Download mirror 2 - Download mirror 3

  • Save it to your Desktop.
  • Double click the RKill desktop icon.
  • It will quickly run and launch a log. If it does not launch a log, try another download link until it does.
  • Please post its log in your next reply.
  • After it has run successfully, delete RKill.
Note: This tool only kills the active infection, the actual infection will not be gone. Once you reboot the infection will be active again! Please do not reboot until instructed further to do so.
