Hello.

I came to this site because I read in one of the forums about the Trojan horse labelled Rootkit-Pakes.U, which is a virus that has presently taken root in my computer.  AVG detected it in Windows/System32/drivers/atapi.sys.  My AVG can't delete it, so I was hoping I could find some solutions here.

Hello Myrmach and welcome to Computer Hope Forum. My name is Superdave but you can just call me SD. I will be helping you out with your particular problem on your computer. I am working under the guidance of one of the specialist of this forum so it may take a bit longer to process your logs.

1.I will be working on your Malware issues. This may or may not solve other issues you have with your machine.
2.The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine.
3.If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to ask.
4.Please DO NOT run any other tools or scans whilst I am helping you.
5.It is important that you reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
6.Your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use. Be assured, any links I give are safe.
7.Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.

The first thing I will need you to do is to go to this link and follow the directions precisely. If you can't access the internet with your infected computer you will have to download and transfer any programs to the computer you're using now and transfer them to the infected computer with a CD-RW or a USB storage device. I prefer a CD because a storage device can get infected. If you use a storage device hold the shift key down while inserting the USB storage device for about 10 secs. You will also have to transfer the logs you receive back to the good computer using the same method until we can get the computer back on-line. If you can't run any step, just jump to the next one. Please let me know how you are doing or have any questions. Initially, I will need the SuperAntiSpyware, MBAM and HJT logs. Please post any logs that you can generate.
