Warning! Weird problem SOLVED by Kaspersky

[wingbliss]

this post serves as a warning & solution to those with the same problem.

My respect to Kaspersky. This is the 2nd time it help me solved a problem which other software has failed. Note: I have both spybot and avast installed yet can still be infected. Even tried combofix (bleeping computer), "sfc -scannow" all failed

Threat warning:
http://support.kaspersky.com/viruses...?qid=208280684
rootkit.win32.tdss.tdl3


My symptons:
1. Google chrome/Internet explorer freeze easily

2. Cannot use the search term: windowsupdate
Note: "windows update" OK, "windowsupdat" OK, but NOT windowsupdate
EVERYTHING else works fine. this is the scary part.
An average user would not have suspected that a virus is in the system blocking important keywords, preventing access to websites.
The non suspecting user may have thought that the website is down, etc. Other more serious implications may occur in future, including identity theft, virus opening backdoor for other malicious content etc.

3. I cannot update my system wth windows update

4. Cannot use mobile broadband. Very weird problem. Found out after I got really suspicious, SOMETHING is not right.

Advice:
1. Avoid using pirated software where possible. Use freeware or opensource.
You never know how the program code could have been changed.
Sometimes it is not the antivirus not being good enough. I myself, as user should be responsible for my actions.

2. Use only trusted download sites e.g. majorgeeks, snapfiles, etc.

3. If you want to use Pir*** at least run it on a virtual machine.

Kaspersky really Number 1. Salute.
