QUICK EASY DETECTION OF INFECTION ON A WINDOWS SYSTEM
There are at least two options to do that, all with tools already included in the operating system:
Open a command prompt, with Windows-R, entering cmd and enter.
Use the command diskpart to open Diskpart in a new command line window.
Enter lis dis in the new prompt, if it remains empty the computer is infected with the rootkit. If the disks display, it is not.
The second option to detect the 64-bit rootkit is the following: Launch Disk Management from the Computer Management pane.
If it does not show disks, it means the system is infected with the rootkit. If it shows disks, everything is fine.
The above only helps detect the 64-bit Alureon Rootkit. For other issues please use a GOOD Anti-Virus app.
Here is a link to the Norton Power Eraser. It seems to be able to remove the TDL4 variant.
