Windows Defender detects and removes this threat.

Trojan:Win32/Alureon.GQ is a member of the Win32/Alureon family of malware - a family of data-stealing malware. These trojans allow an attacker to intercept incoming and outgoing Internet traffic in order to gather confidential information from your computer, such as user names, passwords, and credit card data.

The trojan is also used to generate traffic to specific URLs.

Win32/Alureon can also allow an attacker to transmit malicious data to your computer. It might modify DNS settings on your computer to enable the attacker to perform these tasks.

The Domain Name System (DNS) is used (among other things) to map domain names to IP addresses - that is, to map human-readable domain names to machine-readable IP addresses. When you attempt to visit a particular URL, a browser uses DNS servers to find the correct IP address of the requested domain. When you are directed to a malicious server that is not part of the authoritative Domain Name System, an attacker can provide incorrect IP addresses at their choice to map to particular domain names, thus directing you to possibly bogus or malicious sites without your knowledge.

You might need to reconfigure DNS settings after the trojan is removed from your computer. See the "What to do now" section below for advice on how to do this.

Trojan:Win32/Mashigoom.F is a malicious program that is unable to spread of its own accord. It may perform a number of actions of an attacker's choice on an affected computer.

This is a malicious program that is unable to spread of its own accord. It may perform a number of actions of an attacker's choice on an affected computer.

Virus:Win32/Alureon.F is a detection for system drivers infected by members of the Win32/Alureon family.

Virus:Win32/Alureon.C is a detection for system drivers infected by members of the Win32/Alureon family.

 

Win32/Alureon is a multi-component family of trojans involved in a broad range of subversive activities online in order to generate revenue from various sources for its controllers. Mostly, Win32/Alureon is associated with moderating affected user's activities online to the attacker's benefit. As such, the various components of this family have been used for:

 

 

Trojan:Win32/Alureon.DX is a rootkit that differs in behavior depending on whether the operating system is 32-bits or 64-bits.

 

Trojan:Win32/Alureon.DX is a component of Win32/Alureon - a family of data-stealing trojans. These trojans allow an attacker to intercept incoming and outgoing Internet traffic in order to gather confidential information such as user names, passwords, and credit card data. The Win32/Alureon trojan may also allow an attacker to transmit malicious data to the infected computer. The trojan may modify DNS settings on the host computer to enable the attacker to perform these tasks. As a result, it may be necessary to reconfigure DNS settings after Win32/Alureon is removed from the computer.

Trojan:WinNT/Alureon.H is detection for kernel-mode driver component of members of the Win32/Alureon family. The component functions as a rootkit to hide it and other components of the Win32/Alureon trojan family.

Trojan:Win32/Alureon.FJ is a trojan that drops a malicious driver, detected as Trojan:WinNT/Alureon.Z, in the affected computer.

Trojan:Win32/Alureon.FE is a trojan that installs other variants of Win32/Alureon, a family of data-stealing trojans. These trojans allow an attacker to intercept incoming and outgoing Internet traffic in order to gather confidential information such as user names, passwords, and credit card data. It may also allow an attacker to transmit malicious data to the infected computer. The trojan may modify DNS settings on the host computer to enable the attacker to perform these tasks. As a result, it may be necessary to reconfigure DNS settings after disinfection. Trojan:Win32/Alureon.FE also modifies the MBR to execute installed Alureon components.
