So a friend asked me to "fix" her computer. Turns out she had more trojans than an AVN Convention. I managed to remove these gems. Some of them had multiple entry points.
Trojan.Vundo.H
Adware.MywebSearch
Trojan.FakeAlert
Malware.Packer.Gen
Malware.Trace
Trojan.Downloader
Trojan.DNSChanger
Rogue.SecurityTool
Trojan.Agent
Trojan.Hiloti
Adware.Adrotator
Adware.EZLife
Adware.StreetAds
Trojan.Agent.Gen
Rootkit.Agent
Adware.BWO
Trojan.Spambot
Rootkit.Dropper
Trojan.Alureon
All that remains is Rootkit.Agent. It is found in a SYS file in the system32/drivers folder with what appears to be a random filename.
At one point the system was all clear (SAFE and regular boots). A reboot and rescan confirmed this. Today I decided to run another full scan and the bugger reappeared. I am using Malwarebytes.
Question. What live CD with malware scanner do you recommend?
PS: This is kinda freaking me out because this person should have known better. Also, judging from the list this was not a one time "oops, I should not have done that". I wonder how long her PC has been infected?
