Okay, now, since we're having so much problems with this bullcrap and apparently two antivirus list it as the same rootkit (but with different names) I decided I should make a general topic about this nasty.
What is it? Why can't antivirus block and delete it? Ask away, here.
Here is my case:
I am running Windows XP Pro SP3 dual-boot with Windows 7, which I rarely use. While browsing the net (not a dangerous site), the avast! virus screen pops up. Tells me I have Win32:Alureon-EU, and to my surprise, I had dealt with the Alureon family before (Alureon-DA, I think) and it was successfully killed. Onto the new one though. I immediately turned off the network connection, knowing Alureon are very dangerous and have high risk and stuff. But I kept clicking on 'move to chest' and 'delete' but avast! detected something in the temp folder, also an Alureon-EU. Nothing happened, again, it popped up. I decided, despite the risks, to go online and ask for help.
Later, I turned off the computer, but Windows XP gave me an error, so I went to 7. Went to find more help. Tried numerous things, nothing worked.
I can currently access the XP partition, but I cannot run the boot CD (it gives me an error in a black screen).
Any ideas, people? How can I get rid of this?
Please sticky, members should notice this.
