The last 12 hours i got infected by a dirty executable with the Trojan.Win32.Alureon!IK
The Trojan did the follow :
Blocked the start of the most famous Trojan cleaners
Blocked the windows system restore ( even safe mode )
Blocked Windows file search
Wanted to open a specific web page , at system start up. (that was inactive)
Stayed hidden , from startup analyzers .
One 100k file , download by it self some dll files , and hook up my system for good.
No cure available ... and most Trojan cleaners , was playing with my patience ,
scanning for long times , and at the end to say " Buy Me " ..
Thankfully , i saved my system by the use of one old software,
called as ERD Commander 2005 .
This software creates a boot CD , with graphic interface and additionally ,
has the option to start "windows system restore" and execute it on the spot.
( I had made this rescue CD few months back, and kept it in storage )
I did that ( "windows system restore" ), and finally managed to stop the Trojan,
and delete the locked files that the Trojan was using .
I lost 10 hours of my life , trying first, everything that a common user would try...
and fail !!
Now that you know, how nasty things can go , you have the chance to secure your systems , with backups or other ways .
1000 Thanks to the maker of, the free software .. a-squared Free .. that it managed to operate and find the Trojan and the files .... even if it was unable to act against the Trojan.
Thanks for your time ..
