Removing Vundo Trojan

[Middo]

Managed to get one of these bad boys on my pc telling me that its found my p**n stash and is going to ruin my life, and i'm having real problems removing it. Tried vundofix and a couple of others, but theres still a few files it cant remove. Dont really wanna format the pc, anyone know of any other good programs? Tried vundobegone and the symantec remover also.

I spent a whole day trying to get rid of one of them once! Complete arse to sort - good luck.

Could try this http://housecall.trendmicro.com/uk/ i've had it work on other viruses and trojans on machines in the past

Or if you might find a solution on here - http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/uk/virusencyclo/default.asp

vundofix still isnt working, as theres one file that can never be removed even on reboot. i cant delete the file manually, so i'm pretty much stuck. Anyone else have any ideas?

If ti doesn't give you access to the files then use this program to unlock them - http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/

^ mint program

think i've fixed it now, had to manually delete a load of files though. comp seems to be running ok for the time being so hope for the best!

If ur system is working now, then i'd backup everything you "need", then do a format and start a fresh, that way you have a clean slate.

Run adware
Run AVG
Run CCleaner see if that does anything

Don't know if you've got anti-virus but I can recommend ESET Smart Security as a full package which also includes NOD32 (antivirus).

i've got norton 360, is pretty good dont know why it missed this one

 

[Middo]

Run adware
Run AVG
Run CCleaner see if that does anything

Adware and AVG didnt pick it up, the only thing that did was vundofix, adn norton pretty weird

Ive never used Norton since I had it installed in 2002 and it missed 3 trojans that McAfee Enterprise picked up straight away.

Just for the record in case it helps others i'll repeat the PM I sent to you earlier... if all else fails give ComboFix a try, it's very good http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix
