    The computer started beeping on boot and when being used. Then file saving began being unreliable, sometimes they would save, sometimes not.
    It is a Dell Latitude 6400. The disc manager only shows the CD drive, the hard drive is not shown.
    The anti virus said it had a boot sector virus, so I followed the steps in your Read Me First thread.
    Here are the logs generated.

    Please put ComboFix directly on your desktop, not where you are running it from:
    Running from: c:\downloads\ComboFix.exe

    What told you you had a rootkit? Do you have a log to attach that I could look at?

    Go to the below link and follow the instructions for running TDSSKiller from Kaspersky

    Be sure to attach your log from TDSSKiller

    Please also download MBRCheck to your desktop.

    See the download links under this icon http://forums.majorgeeks.com/chaslang/images/MGDownloadLoc.gif

    • 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.
    • Attach this log to your next message. (See: HOW TO: Attach Items To Your Post )
