How do you get ride of Trojan:Win32/Alureon.CT?

Were you able to submit the file using the link provided?
http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/support.aspx?mkt=en-us&s=3#mainNav

If so, can you provide the submission id? I can follow up once I have it.

If you aren't able to submit a sample, please create a case online as Steve proposed.
They can help remove the malware and also submit a sample.

If you weren't able to submit the file, are you able to check the following registry key:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\RemovalTools\MRT\Guid
If so, are you able to provide the value to this key?

Thanks, Hazel

I tried that. A helpful guy from Chennai shared my computer, removed my temp files and cookies, ran a scan and found nothing. An hour or so later, we called it a day. Ten minutes afterward - it's Ba-ack!

When you don't find answer here and if you find new threat or Malware , please submit samplet to Microsoft and also if you have problem with remove Virus contact MSE support team.

You might want to take a look at the description of this malware from the Microsoft Malware Protection Center, I really wouldn't trust this system even after the malware itself appeared to be removed, since this malware family does a lot of additional damage.

I really think that this malware is of a class that requires a clean sweep of the PC to insure its effects are completely gone, so formatting and reinstallation of the operating system is the only sure way for this to occur.  However, if you don't have the reinstall media for your PC or some of the software required to rebuild it, you may be able to get help in removing it through other channels.

I do not suggest formating and reinstalling whole operating system. Because eventhough Malware are scary and might go deep to kernel and make system terrible, then we still should find a way to recover it and remove Malware without formatting the system and reinstall it. Format and reinstall is a solution but it is not a good way as long as it might consume time and require back up and restore data.

hi ,

indeed some malware could stay in the memory or in a ghost , run a clean up first , then reinstall , but overwrite all first with a diskcleaner , that will destroy anything on the disk in either random numbers or jus 0 and 1

have a nice day

Cross fingers for me... I spent more time with Microsoft's valiant virus-fighters in Chennai. This time, he shared my desktop and remotely used Kasperesky's tdss-killer. Seems to have done the job... I've had no zombie-alureon-ct pop-ups for at least 6 hours. (Earlier, they reappeared in 10-20 minutes.)
