Hello. I could really use some help from the community here on removing a rather persistant and potentially very dangerous trojan.

I'm trying to clean up a friend's computer who was experiencing some symptoms that I'll describe later. There was no antivirus on the computer (Windows XP, 32bit), so I installed and ran Microsoft Security Essentials. MSE found a series of trojans, Alureon.gen and other trojans with Alureon in the name. After selecting for MSE to remove the trojans, I restarted and rescanned to find that it had simply rebuilt itself. Never a good sign.

Symptoms:
- As mentioned above, the trojan reappears after removal. One of the reasons I said it was potentially dangerous.
- It has disabled Windows Firewall, the OTHER reason I said this was potentially dangerous. When selecting Windows Firewall via the Control Panel, the options to turn it on or off are grayed out, but with off selected.
- Computer runs fairly slow, but how much of this is attributable to the virus itself is unknown.
- Certain programs won't install. They crash before the installer gets to launch. There doesn't seem to be any particular pattern to this, since I was able to install MSE just fine, but not something like Google Chrome.

Other than that, it's hard to say what else could be going on since this isn't my computer, and there are very few programs that are used on it.

Below is the log. I'd greatly appreciate anyone who can offer help on removing this stubborn thing:

XP SP3 needs at least 1 GB to run efficiently so consider adding a bit more RAM.

ComboFix
:!: If you have a previous version of Combofix.exe, delete it and download a fresh copy. :!:

:!: It must be saved to your desktop, do not run it :!:

:!: Disable your Antivirus software when downloading or running Combofix. If it has Script Blocking features, please disable these as well. See: http://www.bleepingc...opic114351.html


Download and Save this file -- to your Desktop -- from either of these two sources:
http://download.blee...Bs/ComboFix.exe
http://subs.geekstogo.com/ComboFix.exe

Doubleclick on ComboFix to start the program.



* :!: Important: Have no other programs running. Your Task Bar should be clear of any program entries including your Browser.


* A window may open with a series of Disclaimers. Accept the Disclaimers to start the fix. Allow it to install the Recovery Console then Continue. When the scan completes Notepad will open with with your results log open. Do a File, Exit and answer 'Yes' to save changes.


A caution - Do not run Combofix more than once. Do not touch your mouse/keyboard until the scan has completed, as this may cause the process to stall or your computer to lock. The scan will temporarily disable your desktop, and if interrupted may leave your desktop disabled. If this occurs, please reboot to restore the desktop. Even when ComboFix appears to be doing nothing, look at your Drive light. If it is flashing, Combofix is still at work.

A file will be created at => C:\Combofix.txt. I'll need to see that in your reply.

Download TDSSKiller:
http://support.kaspe.../tdsskiller.exe
Save it to your desktop then run it.
Double click on TDSSKiller.exe (Vista or Win 7 must right click and Run As Admin)
If TDSSKiller alerts you that the system needs to reboot, please consent.
When done, a log file should be created on your C: drive named "TDSSKiller.txt" please copy and paste the contents in your next reply.


Run TDSSKiller again but this time:
before you hit the Scan hit Change Parameters and check the two items under Additional Options. OK then Scan.
In this mode it is prone to false positives so do not change the SKIP option to DELETE unless it says TDSS.
When done, a log file should be created on your C: drive named "TDSSKiller.txt" please copy and paste the contents in your next reply.

Download aswMBR.exe ( 511KB ) to your desktop.
Double click the aswMBR.exe to run it
uncheck trace disk IO calls
Click the "Scan" button to start scan (allow the Avast Engine)
On completion of the scan (Note if the Fix button is enabled (not the FixMBR button) and tell me) click save log, save it to your desktop and post in your next reply



Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
:!: Make sure it checks for updates before running a scan. :!:

http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

SAVE Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to your desktop.

* Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
* At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
* If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
* Once the program has loaded, select Perform Quick scan, then click Scan.
* When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.

* Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.

* When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location.
* The log can also be found here:
C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs\mbam-log-date (time).txt
* Post that log back here.

I disabled my antivirus as instructed, and downloaded Combofix to desktop. However, attempting to launch Combofix does nothing. Windows asks if I'm sure I want to run it, but that's it.

Edit:
So I figured out I could rename before saving it to desktop and have it work. It seemed to be scanning for about an hour before I figured something might be wrong, but clicking anything made the computer freeze. Not sure if it was unresponsive all along, or if I goofed up.

Renaming it is a valid option. Sometimes it takes hours even tho it sort of implies that 20 minutes will be enough.


Sometimes it works better in Safe Mode with Networking:

(Reboot and when you see the maker's logo, hear a beep or it talks about F8, start tapping the F8 key slowly. Keep tapping until the Safe Mode Menu appears and choose Safe Mode with Networking. Login with your usual login.)

If that doesn't work then sometimes it will work with:

Start, Run, cmd, OK and type with an enter after the line:

"%userprofile%\Desktop\combofix.exe" /killall

(Make sure you put a space before the /killall)

This requires that MalwareBytes Anti-Malware be uninstalled first as it will object to being killed.


You can skip any step which gives you a hard time. We can revisit it later.
