    Okay, I was surfing, got an alert which looked like it was from windows, it scanned & quarantined. It was a trojan:Win32/Alureon.EC. I had been noticing my pc acting funny earlier, after looking my updates last did anything on 9/14. I have vista, 32 os, I had superantispyware & also malware bytes. Windows defender did a scan and showed nothing. I can not open either spyware programs, my pages are re-directed to other sites. I can not download updates, microsoft malicious software tool removal, tried onecare (in safe-mode) and only got to file 8 and than showed the above error code? Any suggestions, please I can not get this off or scan with anything! thnx

    Alureon is a very difficult infection to remove as it includes root kit functionality and usually carries additonal infectious payloads.

    If you are in North America, you can call 866-727-2338 for help with virus and spyware infections. See http://www.microsoft.com/protect/support/default.mspx for details. For international information, see your local subsidiary Support site.

    By the way, if you are using the free malwarebytes and superantispyware products, you are not running antivirus software and the PC is unprotected from many threats.
