Ive got a fairly new PC with Vista on it.

I run Norton anti virus which is bang up to date.

Its detecting a trojan but cannot remove it.

Wndows Defender is the same.

The Trojan is Trojan:\win32\vundo.gen!H

I run adaware and its picking up at least 50 infections every time i use the internet.

What can I do to remove it?? NOrton want £70! to remotely clean my PC

Cheers!!

cheers eagle!

 

i think i've got the same one

i haven't got around to deleting it yet as i've just disconnected the computer to the internet until i can get it sorted

 

How about starting the PC in Safe Mode, then scanning again. That sometimes works.

 

Very good online virus scanner http://housecall.trendmicro.com/uk/

Get rid of Norton and I recommend buying Kaspersky Internet Security http://www.kaspersky.com/

 

cheers, ill try all that. I cannot choose which anti virus I use unfortunately

 

Ok guys, house call has found MAL VUNDO 4.

I click remove but i get a warning saying if i delete this important files may be lost.

Will this f**k up my PC ??
Am i correct in saying that a tojan re writes the registry file?

 

Download, Install and Update Spybot and run the scanner http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html
or try http://vundofix.atribune.org/

 

thanks for ur quick reply mate, so will i do this instead of clicking "Clean" in House call??

 

Yeah if your not to sure on just using that online virus scanner try the vundofix link, seems to do the trick going by what I've read thru googling Vundo

 

ill download spybot

cheers again

 

install Linux, that will solve it

 

ok, spybot has detected quite a few problems. Ive clicked fix and its now askind me to allow change or deny change. I take it ive to click Allow change but it keeps appearing for each entry. is this correct??

 

if you want a very good setup which will stop everything then i recommend the following...


superantispyware pro
and mcafee enteprise edition.


my mate had a variant of vundo virus before the virus scanning software even detected it.

then few days later was in the dat files.

 

you have to run it in safe mode to remove everything .. also turn of system restore .. or it reloads it easc time it reboots....

 

Format your machine and install Windows Xp. Then download and install AVG anti virus from free.grisoft.com.

Problems solved
