MBR-Alurec Rootkit Virus please help
« on: May 03, 2012, 07:11:31 PM »
hi,
I keep getting a message from my Avast anti virus that there is a MBR-Alureon K rootkit. I ran the Avast boot scan as recommended; it says it deletes it, but after I reboot, the message pops up again, also everytime i go on the web internet explorer connects to random website that are riddled with virus's.  i don't really know much about computers so any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks
john
