That is part of SureThing Shared and is only marked suspicious as it is not signed. It is of no consequence

Interesting. Should I try the full scan with MSE again? Perhaps the system restore I did recently took care of the problem, but I'm not sure.
Also, would it make any difference to use OTL, aswMBR, ListParts, and TDSSKiller, on the other username I have on this computer?

No as TDSSKiller and Listparts look at the MBR which is independant of users
And with an OTL all user scan that is taken care of as well

Ok, well I will try a full scan with MSE and then one with Malwarebytes to see if anything comes up and then I will respond here.

The MSE scan did not find anything. However, the Malwarebytes log is quite interesting:

First, thank you for your help so far. Anyway, I was about to run the programs to remove all the tools and clean everything else up when I decided to run one more scan. So I used malwarebytes and nothing was found. Great right? Well, I scanned in safe mode without networking with Microsoft Security Essentials and it once again detected alureon. only this time Trojan:Win32/Alureon.FO. The scan said it was removed and there was not an error code unlike the first time when it detected Alureon *and said the malware and other potentially unwanted software on this computer couldn't be found*, but this is definately a concern.
Reading about the Alureon virus, it can create more malware in the system and can hide itself really well, so yeah. Do you think I should just reformat my computer, or is there anything else I can do.
Also, With all the tools I downloaded, I used them with safe mode with networking. Would I get a different result if I used all the tools with just safe mode? Sighs, the fact that this malware is somewhere within my computer is quite annoying.

Where did MSE find the file ? As the location may indicate whether it is from a website that you visited, especially after the clean runs

It found the file in:
file:C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DRM\D348.tmp
file:C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DRM\ncrypt.dll
The first time It detected alureon a few days ago but said there was an error so it couldn't be found and was probably not properly removed after the scan the file was here:
file:C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DRM\D24D.tmp
file:C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DRM\D348.tmp
file:C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DRM\ncrypt.dll

Should I do this in safe mode without networking?

Posted 02 August 2012 - 03:00 PM
Normal mode will do
