This rootkit infects your computer in various ways that include replacing hard disk drivers with malicious versions. Once a computer is infected, TDSS will be invisible to Windows and anti-malware programs while downloading and executing further malware and delivering advertisements to your computer. This particular infections is detected under various names depending on the particular anti-virus vendor. A list of vendors and their detection names for TDSS can be found below. Definition Name Anti-virus Vendor Packed.Win32.TDSS, Rootkit.Win32.TDSS Kaspersky Lab Mal/TDSSPack, Mal/TDSSPk Sophos Trojan:Win32/Alureon Microsoft Packed.Win32.Tdss Ikarus W32.Tidserv, Backdoor.Tidserv Symantec Trojan.TDSS MalwareBytes’ Backdoor:W32/TDSS F-Secure BKDR_TDSS Trend Micro Rootkit.TDss BitDefender Generic Rootkit.d McAfee While infected, the files and services associated with TDSS will be invisible, but there are symptoms that the TDSS infection may display. These symptoms include: Google search result links will be redirected to unrelated sites. When you search through Google and click on one of the search results, instead of going to the correct page you will instead be redirected to an advertisement. It should be noted that some of the domains you are redirected to are legitimate companies, but that may have affiliates that promote their products in a dubious manner. The inability to run various programs. When you attempt to run certain programs, you will not receive an error, but they simply will not start. TDSS has a configuration setting called disallowed that contains a large list of programs that it will not allow to execute. It does this so that you cannot launch anti-virus and anti-malware programs that may help you remove this infection. The inability to access various sites. For example, at the time of this writing TDSS is blocking access to BleepingComputer as well as other computer help and security sites. Web browsing is slower than normal. When starting your web browser or browsing the web, you may find that web pages load slower. As you can see, the TDSS rootkit is an intrusive infection that takes over your machine and is very difficult to remove. Thankfully, Kaspersky Labs has released a tool called TDSSKiller that can be used to remove most variants of TDSS from your computer. We do, though, need to perform some steps in order to get the program to work. These steps are described in the removal guide below. Threat Classification: Rootkits Advanced information: View TDSS, Alureon, or TDL3 Rootkit files. View TDSS, Alureon, or TDL3 Rootkit Registry Information.

Automated Removal Instructions for the TDSS, Alureon, or TDL3 Rootkit using TDSSKiller: The first thing you need to do is download tdsskiller from the following link and save it to your desktop. TDSSKiller Download Link - bleepingcomputer/download/tdsskiller/ When you get to the above page, please click on the Download EXE button to download the file. If you are unable to download the file for some reason, then TDSS may be blocking it. You would then need to download it first to a clean computer and then transfer it to the infected one using an external drive or USB flash drive. Once the file has completed downloading, you should now have the TDSSKiller icon on your desktop as shown below. TDSSKiller icon Before you can run TDSSKiller, you first need to rename it so that you can get it to run. To do this, right-click on the TDSSKiller.exe icon that should now be on your Desktop and select Rename. You can now edit the name of the file and should name it a random name with the extension. For example, 123 or 23kjasd123. If a random name does not work, please try renaming it as iexplore and attempt to run it again. Once the file is renamed, you should double-click on it to launch it. When you run the program, Windows may display a warning similar to the image shown below. Run warning If you receive this warning, please click on the Run button to allow TDSSKiller to run. If you did not receive this warning, then TDSSKiller should have started and you can proceed to step 6. TDSSKiller will now start and display the welcome screen as shown below. TDSSKiller welcome screen At this screen click on the Start scan button to have TDSSKiller scan your computer for the TDSS infection. TDSSKiller will now scan your computer for the TDSS infection. When the scan has finished it will display a result screen stating whether or not the infection was found on your computer. If it was found it will display a screen similar to the one below. TDSS Infection Found To remove the infection simply click on the Continue button and TDSSKiller will attempt to clean the infection. If it does not say Cure, leave it at the default action of Skip and press the Continue button. Do not change it to Delete or Quarantine as it may delete infected files that are required for Windows to operate properly. When it has finished cleaning the infection you will see a report stating whether or not it was successful as shown below. Scan completed As you can see from the above screen, TDSSKiller was able to clean the TDSS infection, but requires a reboot to finish the cleaning process. Click on the Reboot now button to reboot your computer and finish the removal of the TDSS infection from your computer. I now suggest that you scan your computer using MalwareBytes to remove any traces that may still be present.

TDSSKiller will detect and remove the Alureon rootkit, if you run it in Safe Mode. Try this: Firstly, boot your computer to the Safe Mode menu screen. You do this by repeatedly pressing F8 as soon as you boot up. Once there, use the arrow keys to highlight Safe Mode with Networking. Continue to boot from there, by pressing Enter. You will now see some drivers being loaded. There will be a pause at some point. This usually lasts for no more than 30 seconds. If that’s successful, open your browser, copy and paste this link into the address bar and press Enter. Its a direct download for RKill. Save it to your desktop, then run it.

Regardless of the results, open your browser and copy and paste this link into the address bar, and press Enter. Its a direct download for the free version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (MBAM). Install it and get updates, then run a full scan (still in Safe Mode): myantispyware/mbam You should now delete RKill and TDSSKiller.exe, as updated versions are often made available. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware can be easily uninstalled, should you wish to do so, but it may prove to be beneficial in the future. After this, try rebooting normally. If thats successful, I recommend you run another full scan with MBAM. It will detect malware that wasnt running in Safe Mode. Hope this helps. 01 Comment edited 1 year ago You shoud always use the latest version of Tdsskiller, the bleeping computer version is outdated. However you say you have already used this tool to no avail. I would seriously recommend Malwarebytes anti rootkit, This is not the regular MBAM but a specialised tool for rootkits, that comes whit a fix it extra, to repair damged services Obviously reboot after, then run MBAM and Eset online scanner EDIT Unfortunately because Alureon infects the mbr, a system recovery will not suffice 01 Comment how to remove trojan win32/alureon?
