I was infected with Alureon.gen!h and Delflob.I. I suppose this is a newer generation of the Alureon.gen!d. The OneCare scan kept finding and trying to remove this, but it seemed to keep returning. I read several posts and tried everything within my limited technical abilities, but to no avail, even running scans with system restore turned off. It seened as though I was being reinfected even while the OneCare scans were running. I finally physically unplugged my computer from my internet connection and ran the scan again. The trojan was found again and apparently sucessfully removed. I ran the scan twice again before physically reconnecting the cable I access the internet through. After reconnecting, I ran it again. All seems clear. What an ordeal this was. My browser was being hijacked and taking me to places I didn't want to go, muchless places I didn't want my grandchildren going. Windows updates that previously would not install are now installing fine. The windows defragmentor that quick working a couple of months ago now works again.
The Norton products I had before OneCare couldn't even detect the threat. Next I tried SpyHunter. It would never install correctly. This is a vicious little varmit and I pity anyone who has it.
Additional research indicates that even after the trojan is removed, other fixes may be needed, such as manual repairs to DNS settings or files. I don't even know what these are. Any suggestions?
