Yes..I downloaded the trial version of Hitman 3 and did a scan and it came up with the TDL3 Alureon and a lot of tracking cookies. It deleted half of Alureon and said the other half would be deleted on boot up. So far it hasn't come back. I think I got it from a porn site while researching sponsors for some blogs I am doing...wish I knew which one so I don't go back there. The only thing I didn't like about Hitman 3 is that although it recommended deleting the tracking cookies it was unable to delete most of them.
Apparently Alureon is one of the top five that people get. Its not really dangerous..just makes life miserable since you can't do searches by clicking links on the web. I was able to get around by typing in directly the urls I wanted to go to.
