TR/ATRAPS.Gen Active & Everywhere

Hyphen · May 13, 2012

I use Avira as my AV and regularly run their quick scan. Just this morning I ran a full scan and nearly every single active process on my machine (including winlogon.exe, svchost.exe, etc.) is claimed to be detected with "TR/ATRAPS.Gen". I have no idea how I got this. With so many files being infected, I can assume these are not false positives? As it's affecting core system files, I also assume I can't quarantine anything. How can I go about removing this infection?

I want you to run TDSSKiller so refer to the below for how to do so.

TDSSkiller - How to run

Please also download MBRCheck to your desktop

Double click MBRCheck.exe to run (vista and Win 7 right click and select Run as Administrator)

It will show a Black screen with some information that will contain either the below line if no problem is found:

Done! Press ENTER to exit...

Or you will see more information like below if a problem is found:

Found non-standard or infected MBR.

Enter 'Y' and hit ENTER for more options, or 'N' to exit:

Either way, just choose to exit the program at this point since we want to see only the scan results to begin with.

MBRCheck will create a log named similar to MBRCheck_07.16.10_00.32.33.txt which is random based on date and time.

When I run TDSSKiller, I get this far and then it comes to a stop:
