Problem:
Continous hard drive access even when pc is idle.
C: disk space goes down about 10MB every 30 seconds until reach 0MB.
Very slow performance, takes 3 minutes just to open FireFox.
Whenever login to any site, FireFox freezes for about 5 seconds.
MBAM, Symantic, SpyBot, HijackThis all come up clean.
GMER found the hidden service ytasfw followed by several random characters.
When I clck to delete the process and the confirmation popped up, I clicked No by accident.
The ytaswf entry vanished and GMER can't find instances of ytaswf on subsequent scans.
Did it get added to ignore list?
So far I read that the latest Root Repeal released 08-14-2009 can remove the rootkit but I can't run the program, it just eats up all my memory without starting and I renamed it same thing. I read that somebody on this forum also had the ytaswf rootkit about 20 days ago but still can't get it removed as of now.
Are there any other tool available that can remove this rootkit?
