Alureon.gen Trojan

[Flamesguy_SJ]

*sigh* So I was having great luck with my new laptop since I got it..no really big problems, any virus/spyware that came up was promptly removed.

Over the past day or two, I've gotten a lot of notices from OneCare that a trojan called Win32/Alureon.gen has been detected and should be removed. When I try to use OneCare to remove it, it doesn't work...no matter how many times I try it. I've also just recently gotten notifications about Alureon.j! and Alureon.BB, and was actually able to remove Alureon.j!.

I downloaded and ran Spybot S&D, and it found two unrelated trojans...I haven't tried connecting to the internet with my computer since it removed Alureon.j!, so I don't really know if the problem has been fixed, but in case it hasn't, do any of you have any advice on how I can get rid of this damn thing?

All help is greatly appreciated!

I usually have had good success with the XL Brand of Trojans.

HERE is a brief explanation of the virus itself.

First advice would be to read THIS and follow the steps.

If that doesn't fix it for you, I'd follow the advice given in THIS link.
