tidserv backdoor rouge virus on netbook

i have recently had problems connecting to internet, using backup recovery,
system restore and enabling my norton anti-virus software. Eventually i got
my norton internet security connected to the internet and managed to download
updates and run a scan in safe mode.
The scan reported the following risks:
gasfkymlijaoaq.dll (backdoor.tidserv)
c\documents and settings\username\desktop\casino.url
c\recycled\boot.com
c\windows\system32\dll.dll

norton actions were to fix c drive issues and restart pc to resolve backdoor
virus.
Once the pc had restarted all security issues seemed resolved and healthy.
But when running A full scan again, all risks were reinstated.

Whats the best way of removing tidserv backdoor rouge virus ?

It is not a virus. It is a trojan Rootkit.

It is not rouge, it is a "rogue" :-)

Scan with Gmer anti RootKit - http://www.gmer.net/#files

and back it up with Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

Did you run MBAM like I suggested ?

yes i did run MBAM like you suggested, but no hidden files appeared in report
list. I have run norton antivirus scan again and the tidserv high security
risk has been cleared though, so something good is happening.
All that seems to be remaining now is 4 cookies which are removed after
norton scan, but reappear after netbook restart.

/ - not detected
/ - not detected
/ - not detected
Orphan cookie cleanup - removed

are these cookies a serious threat

regards and many thanks

Don't overlook the possibility that this might be a false alarm. If you can
identify a suspect file, upload this to http://virustotal.com for
verification.

If you do have a rootkit then you need to disinfect from a bootable CD such
as
http://www.ubcd4win.com/ as attempting to do so with the rootkit active may
not succeed.

Malwarebytes is probably the best disinfector. Sysinternals' rootkit
revealer is also useful.

Oh, and let this be a salutary lesson on what happens if you place your
trust in a preinstalled 'forced sale' antivirus to protect your computer.

Avira, AVG, Eset all work well, as do most other reputable products.

The two to avoid are the ones which you find aggressively demanding
registration the moment you turn your new computer on. They got there not
because they are any good, but because the system-builder was paid to put
them there.
