    Hi i was online watching a video and all of a sudden this popped up. (pic) avg picked it up and showed me. So i chose to put it in my virus vault cause i was scared. I used tdsskiller and it found something (will attach) i then cured it and rebooted. I then used tdsskiller again and tried to see if there was anything else and nothing showed up. I then used malwarebytes and it said everything was clean. Now is it clean because the thing is in the avg virus vault? or would it still detect it? I really want this thing out of my computer (even a vault) avg gives me the option of removing or deleting the things in my vault. which one do i use?? and will they be gone? im so confused. Thanks!:cry

    ps: in the tdss attachment it had what needed to be removed and it was something called like rootkit win hardisk. i removed it by curing it.

    what should i do? i am confused. Do i press remove or delete in my avg virus vault?? here is a pic of the virus in the vault.

    EDIT: nvm it doesnt have remove all it has is delete. so confusing. :(

    oh one more thing when avg first popped up and showed me while i was watching my video online (i love money tv show) it popped up showing the virus then boom my computer shut off. Is this normal?

    Good.
    If it's in the vault it's safe. But you can delete it from there if you like.
    Could have been avg shutting your computer down to prevent further damage. Could have been some left over malware trying to stop avg from trying to do it's job.

    You said you ran Malware Bytes, can I see the log from that even though it did not find any threats?

    Did you download and run SUPERantispyware as per our instructions?
    Did you try to run RootRepeal?
    What about Combofix and MGTools?

    You need to do all this, (I will link to the procedures below for refernce) then attach logs when you are ready.

    Hi here is the malware bytes log, nothing is shown, i think everything is cleared up. That tdss killer works wonders :). My computer seems to be working fine now. Thanks again!:cool
