Avast won't remove MBR:\\.\PHYSICALDRIVE0
« on: July 21, 2011, 10:06:08 AM »
I've been noticing that my computer, in particular my internet has been slow on and off recently. I've started up my computer and it just hasn't had internet access while everyone else in my house did. I decided to do a virus scan and Avast detected "MBR:\\.\PHYSICALDRIVE0". I tried to remove it and it said "Action postponed until the next reboot" so I restarted my computer. I did another scan to make sure it was removed, but it was not. Under the status tab it says "Threat:Rootkit:hidden boot-sector", and I'm not entirely sure what this means or what it is capable, so if someone can help me, it would be very much appreciated.

maybe u can try this:


Download aswMBR.exe ( 1.8mb ) to your desktop.
 
Double click the aswMBR.exe to run it
 
Click the "Scan" button to start scan
 
 
On completion of the scan click save log, save it to your desktop and post in your next reply


u can hit fixmbr if it finds the mbr rootkit.

Pressing Fix MBR fixed it apparently; there's no red font in the log anymore and after scanning again, aswMBR didn't detect anything. Thanks a lot!   ;D

I'm not sure how to do a boot time scan. I'll try it if you can tell me how then I'll tell you the results.

go to the avast! user interface by double clicking on the orange ball in the system tray.

in the interface,go to the scan computer option and then after clicking there u can click on boot-time scan

now click on schedule now and restart your pc.

now a boot-time scan will be performed on next reboot...

I did a boot time scan and I believe the last thing it detected was MBR:Whistler which it moved to the chest. I managed to get a file path to the log, so here it is though I'm pretty sure the rootkit has been removed. Thanks very much for your assistance :)

Both Avast and aswMBR no longer detect the infection, so I believe it is gone. Thanks a lot to everyone that helped me. ;D

If you don't need Java, just remove it.
I've done that long ago.

I have been an Avast user for quite sometime.
For the problem mentioned try using tdsskiller.
It solves the problem.  :D
