I love spending twelve hours straight fighting with a virus on my computer with virtually no headway having been made. No, really.

One of my other friends JUST got a really pesky one and someone suggested MalwareBytes, which seems to have cleared it right up. Try that?

[canadabear]

Do you happen to remember which virus it was?

[mhari]

She didn't say, just that her regular program wasn't handling it.

[canadabear]

Well, I 'll give it a whirl. I've tried 7 other programs so far, what's #8? Thanks!

What virus do you have, what's it doing to your system, and what anti-malware have you tried this far?

[canadabear]

According to the non-stop NAV Virus alerts I keep getting, it's trojan.vundo For the time being, other than the constant alerts, it's just slowing down my system.

I've tried NAV, Spyware Terminator, Symantec's special Vundo Fixer that did jack squat, Windows Defender, AdAware, SpywareHunter and I'm scanning with SpySweeper at the moment. Everything (so far) other than Spyware Terminator and the Symantec Vundo Fix has found something, but after it says it's removed it and I reboot, it just starts back up again. I know I must have a re-initiating .dll file somewhere, but I'll be damned if I can find out which one.

How's everything this morning? I always have SpySweeper anti-virus/anti-spyware running on my system, and I use AdAware almost every day, but I did some reading on the trojan.vundo and MAN, is that shit nasty. Any luck with Spy Sweeper? I ran MalwareBytes (which I've never used) and it found a few things on my system that SpySweeper missed.

Is your system okay? Did you run anything else? Poor baby. Also, if you're able to even run your anti-malware programs, it can't be that bad an infection because apparently what trojan.vundo does is hijack your browser repeatedly and also prevents you from using most anti-virus tools.

It's still here. SpySweeper found a virus and said it got rid of it (I was in safe mode for this) but when I rebooted, I'm still getting contact NAV alerts. MalwareBytes found and removed some stuff, too, but still no luck. I have instructions on how to get rid of it, but I need to know what .dll file is the culprit and I don't.

I'm tired, and at this point, I almost think I'd rather spend two hours putting my most important files on a palm drive and then reinstall windows, than wait for yet another virus/spy program to run a scan and find something that isn't going to fix my problem.

I've had trojan.vundo before. mhari was dead on. This should help:

And if not that, then definitely this:

I have them both and will be trying whenever SpySweeper would like to FINISH SCANNING ALREADY.

Neither did the trick. :/
