My brother-in-law's Dell Inspiron 530, Windows Vista, IE 9) is infected 
with the Alureon rootkit.  I have tried MSSE, Windows Defender, 
Malwarebytes, and Kaspersky and none of them has worked.  The bug has 
Internet access and antivirus updates blocked, so I downloaded MS 
Support Emergency Response Tool, Avast! Antirootkit, and a couple of 
others here at home and put them on a CD.  I'll try those tomorrow when 
I go over.

Problem with the CD:  his CD/DVD drive is just about worn out and I 
couldn't install a game sis Sherrie wanted on there a few days ago, 
before the bug hit.    If I have to remove it manually, I'm not sure 
where this one takes up residence in the Registry?  Any help here 
greatly appreciated!
