What a Boot.Tidserv nightmare !

Hi there,
I am experiencing a nightmare with this rootkit, I have done tons of tests but cannot get rid of it :confused

The pc is a HP Desktop Pavilion 1209 with Windows XP Home.

The system boots normally' then after 3,4 minutes the hard drive starts again to work a lot and comes up with the attached screen contained in this set:

I choose the option to cure within its combo box and the problem seems fixed, only till next boot actually.


Here is only a small part of all tests that I recall:

>NPE
>NPE boot disk
>karpersky removal tool
>bit defender removal tool
>TDSSKiller
>g-data rescue live cd
>bitdefender rootkit new tool
>bitdefender recue live cd
>karsperky rescue live cd
>combofix
>gmer
>mbr.exe
>hitman pro second opinion
>booted from cd and hit the 'R' and successfully run the commands: 'fixboot' and 'fixmbr'.

---
Also, tried enabling and disabling the Windows restore point function
---
Gparted shows a hidden partition, I deleted that but no luck, still the dreadfull Norton notice.
---
Also tried Malwarebytes and Superantispyware, no luck.
---

I am quite desperate, Hope someone can help, I would seriously need to avoid the zerofilling of hard disk and reinstalling everything.

Please en-light me :wave
Thank you

Hi Geeks
yesterday I run a full scan from bitdefender live cd with the latest signature and found no threat, I just wondered how could be that possible since Norton keeped on alerting me.

I read some Norton forums and discovered an old but still present bug in the software, that is the unresolved threat history, in some cases like this may cause false positives, I have no words, I am so sorry I paid for such a crap software,
however I did clean the history and now magically I get no more annoying alert on booting phase.

Hope this may of some help to other people not to waste their and your time

Please consider this incident closed, it was a pleasure, hope to talk to you in future for 'lighter' issues ))

Best regard.
