Mebroot Trojan detected - not cleaned

I have a workstation thet gives a warning on startup that there is a memory Mebroot detection that ESET cannot remove. In the virus encyclopedia when I go to Mebroot and then click on the htxt link to the removal tool it just loops back to the encyclopedia index. In safe mode, ESET detected and removed a trojan in a "data(1).pdf file. Three other programs detect nothing.

Virus promulgation should be a capitol offense. Thanks

Try the Mebroot removal tool downloadable from here.

 

Thank you. I have marked the page for reference.

Maybe life with no parole...

hi guys, i have the same issue and used the tool. It stated that the virus is removed and asked me to restart.

upon restart, i did a scan of the operating memory and the virus is still there.

im on windows 7.

i've tried using Malwarebytes anti-malware. it showed no infection. Could this be a false positive?

edit: i went to the repair windows 7 and used the command prompt

i entered bootrec.exe /fixmbr

now i scan the operating memory and all is good. so i guess the tool does work afterall.
