This is happening on my Asus z70Va and appears to be related to the drivers.
I came home today to see that Norton had quarantined several files (mentioning hacktool.rootkit, trojans, downloaders, winlogon32.exe, and others). Unfortunately, I didn't realize it was still scanning, and I did as the program suggested and hit the Reboot button. Here's where the fun begins...
Windows refused to start up normally, so I had to get in using safe mode. In safe mode, I ran Norton again and did a full scan. After over three hours, it quarantined more files, but it then got stuck scanning a specific file (an old file that I doubt is actually causing any problems). I had to force a reboot, and this time Windows started up without having to go into safe mode. Upon startup, I was prompted with an error message from Norton saying something about how the TCP/IP transport is not installed. That was really unusual, so I tried hitting the wireless button on my notebook. Instead of turning on, it gave me the following error message:
"Unable to load the INTEL Muroc API, This function need to install INTEL Proset utility"
Odd (and yes, it was in that broken English), but that didn't seem too difficult (fortunately, I had access to a desktop computer). I went to the Asus site and downloaded the Proset utility and tried to do a repair. It went along, but got stuck when repairing 802.1x Supplicant. I tried cancelling, but then it got stuck on the "Program Cancellation in Progress... Please wait..." window. I eventually forced it to quit, and did some more searching on the net. Meanwhile, I ran a custom scan in Norton (starting after the file that it would get stuck on), and it quarantined a few more files again. Since then, the scans haven't turned up anything, though I must admit I haven't yet done a second full scan.
Anyway, back to the networking problem. Someone on a forum with a similar problem (although his didn't start with a virus) suggested that using the original drivers did the trick. I popped in my original laptop drivers CD, had it uninstall the drivers, and then reintall them. Again, it got stuck on 802.1x Supplicant. I tried this a few more times, and now it's starting to auto-cancel my attempts to install the drivers. It then gives me a report saying that the components that it installed have an error.
I should also mention that my Device Manager looks pretty ugly, with my Infrared Device, and all of my Network adapters showing up as being either corrupted or missing (Code 39).
Please help! I need my computer back!
It seems like things just keep getting worse. Was running a full scan and I got an error message about lsass.exe, and it automatically shut down my computer after a 60 second countdown. Once it got back into Windows, my laptop made this ugly beeping noise and a message popped up saying that my system.log file is corrupt (and I should run checkdsk). Then some System Busy message kept popping up, and my computer eventually froze up. I'm trying to reboot as I type. What a nightmare... Considering that I do take a number of precautions when it comes to viruses, I can't believe this is happening! I just rebooted and I'm crossing my fingers that Windows will even start...
Since then, I've noticed that an item called mroute~2.exe keeps appearing and disappearing in my Task Manager.
And now, here's the log...
