Do you have an Antivirus?
If you want a FREE 1, I suggest you to use Avira Antivir Personal 9. D/L, http://www.free-av.com/
Another great anti-spywares tools, is SUPERAntiSpyware. D/L, http://www.superantispyware.com/
Make sure the antivirus and anti-spyware/malware is up-to-date.
Addition, if you want passive blocker, SpywareBlaster would be your choice.

Yes I already have avira installed.
I already did superantispyware. It doesn't remove.
I had to go in safe mode and disable all the startup programs because the security system antivirus virus would not allow me to do anything. -
let me see have u tried spybot search and destroy.........u should uninstall avira and install avast and do a system boot scan.....

VirtuMonde is an exotic Trojan Horse, it is mutating constantly, and there is no 100% rate of disinfection, I recommend you:
-- Disable System Restore. (Right-Click on My PC / Computer, System Protection)
-- Download VundoFix.
-- Download, Install and Update Malwarebytes Antimalware, Avast! or Avira Antivir, and SpyBot Search & Destroy.
-- Download HiJack This! (Post the logs in this thread.)
While in Safe Mode,
-- Run VundoFix, Malwarebytes' Antimalware, Avast! or Avira Antivir, SpyBot Search & Destroy and HiJack This!.
-- Keep them up to date and scan periodically, the VirtuMonde Trojan Horse cannot be removed fully unless you do so.
It will take a while to "purge out" from your system.
Keep their "Heuristics" Level on Maximum if you can.
If the Vundo Trojan Horse cannot be annihilated by those programs, then a re-format will be needed to get rid of it, but remember, it is a last resource solution. -
Thanks guys for the tips. I actually was able to get rid of it.
When I was searching for solutions I came up to this page. very helpful.

By the way, do not forget to scan continuously from now on, as VirtuMonde is never really purged out from your system, some traces will be left laying around, and those could cause another infection, so keep your antivirus and antispyware nearby, turn their active protection on, and keep an eye out.
That site that you posted, Recovery Console, I had never heard of it, I guess that I will investigate more about it and try to integrate it into future fixes for malware that I may come up with.
If you can, get an Antivirus / Antispyware that has Web Protection, as the so-called "Trojan Downloaders" carry VirtuMonde (Vundo) a 50% of the time, and every time that you download an infected file, you will be alerted and prompted to terminate the connection.
Have a nice day. -
I find "autoruns" to be very useful, this helps you remove viruses, if you know what your looking for. It's kinda like msconfig.
-
No matter of scanning etc. will remove the problem unless you do a system boot scan.
BTW, not my own comp...but seriously infected comps of people I work with. Flash stick stuff. Avira did not clean up properly. Avast did.
It found rootkits etc. etc.
Hence my vote for rock solid Avast. -
thanks for the suggestions guys. As of now the computer is doing well. will try Avast antivirus .
-
yeah installing avast will be a smart move....hope you enjoy it.....
can't get rid of Trojan Vundo.H help please!!!
