Another Alureon victim

Unread postby Anyasha » December 17th, 2009, 8:15 pm

Last night my Avast popped up and said it detected a malicious website (I was googling for phpbb help), so I aborted the connection. After that, all Google search results redirect to ads in IE and FF. Avast pops up every 10 seconds or so now and says it's found Win32:Alureon-EU in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\atapi.sys but it cannot fix or quarantine it. MBAM does not detect it.

I don't have any Windows CDs because at the time Dell didn't include them with laptops, saying System Restore was efficient enough. :roll: So I cannot get a good copy of atapi.sys off a CD. System Restore also doesn't help because it still saves all files that have been added since the chosen restore point.

I read the sticky so here goes:
