AVG Finds Rootkits Scan After Scan?

You are going to need to get a anti-rookit scanner. Kaspersky has a good one.But you may have to try a couple.Even then you may not be able to remove them without help from someone who knows what they are doing. If you find that you can't remove them on your own,go to Bleeping computer and get some free help. Don't waste your time trying different antivirus programs.They are good at blocking rootkit,but not at removing them.

It looks like the rootkits are blocking the antivirus softwares. Try performing a scan in safe mode. Start pressing F8 repeatedly right after you switch on your computer. You'll then see an Advanced boot Screen and there you'll find the Safe Mode option. I 'think' the rootkits or whatever infections they are, will be resisting internet connections as well. Anyways, if your virus definitions are too old, try the Safe Mode with Networking option and then try to update your antivirus and then run the scan. If the scan fails again, you'll need a different computer for further steps. (make sure the other computer is clean)

Downloading or installing any other antivirus on an infected system won't work coz the rootkits or viruses will not let you install it. If you installed it, they'll not let you scan, and if you were successful in scanning, they'll easily hide themselves. So if the scan fails, try using the Kaspersky TDSS killer. Its a small tool (< 3MB) and is capable of killing all the latest rootkits. You'll find it on this page http://www.kaspersky.com/virus-removal-tools also read its 'more information' page. Download it on the other computer you're having, (unzip it if you've downlaoded the zip file) copy it on a blank USB flash drive and then scan the infected PC using this flash drive. If this didn't worked either, the computer must be severly infected. Then you have to download the Kaspersky Rescue Disk (the latest version is the KRD10). After downloading the Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10 iso file, you can burn it into a USB flash drive or a blank CD (i recommend a CD). After the USB flash drive or CD is ready, you'll be able to boot from the CD or USB and run the Kaspersky Rescue Disk directly without booting on windows. This is a next-to-perfect method to disinfect your hard drive. If this didn't worked, you'll need to format your hard drive and reinstall the OS.
