A "missing operating system" error message, indicates that there is a problem with the boot record or that the hard drive is failing.

Let's take a quick look for RootKits and Trojans, that effect the boot sector.

Read carefully and follow these steps.

• Download TDSSKiller and save it to your Desktop.
• Double-click on TDSSKiller.exe to run the application.

  

• Click Change parameters

  

• Check the boxes next to Verify Driver Digital Signature and Detect TDLFS file system, then click OK

  

• Click on the Start Scan button to begin the scan and wait for it to finish.

  NOTE: Do not use the computer during the scan!

• During the scan it will look similar to the image below:

  

• When it finishes, you will either see a report that no threats were found like below:

  

  If no threats are found at this point, just click the Report selection on the top right of the form to generate a log. A log file report will pop which you can just close since the report file is already saved.

• If any infection or suspected items are found, you will see a window similar to below:

  

  • If you have files that are shown to fail signature check do not take any action on these. Make sure you select Skip. I will tell you what to do with these later. They may not be issues at all.
  • If Suspicious objects are detected, the default action will be Skip. Leave the default set to Skip.
  • If Malicious objects are detected, they will show in the Scan results. TDSSKiller automatically selects an action (Cure or Delete) for malicious objects
  • Make sure that Cure is selected. Important! - If Cure is not available, please choose Skip instead. Do not choose Delete unless instructed to do so.
• Click Continue to apply selected actions.
• A reboot may be required to complete disinfection. A window like the below will appear:

  

  Reboot immediately if TDSSKiller states that one is needed.

• Whether an infection is found or not, a log file should have already been created on your C: drive (or whatever drive you boot from) in the root folder named something like TDSSKiller.2.1.1_27.12.2009_14.17.04_log.txt which is based on the program version # and date and time run.
• Attach this log to your next reply.
