| 840867 | 2009-12-18 06:26:00 | This is probably old hat to most of you, but..........Spybot throws up Vitumonde Trojan which it cannot fix. What do you recommend? | Shortstop (632) | ||
| 840868 | 2009-12-18 06:51:00 | try malwarebytes | GameJunkie (72) | ||
| 840869 | 2009-12-18 06:54:00 | Disable system restore first then scan. Post a hijackthis log if you want | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 840870 | 2009-12-18 07:41:00 | Download and run this file: download.bleepingcomputer.com It will kill any Trojan.vundo and Virtumonde processes so that you can open MBAM. If MBAM installs but does not run then you will have to manually place a randomly named file into the MBAM folder(C:\program files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\) mbam.malwarebytes.org Remember to turn system restore before attempting to remove. If MBAM fails, then try VundoFix: www.atribune.org Blam |

| 840871 | 2009-12-18 07:50:00 | Sorry, fundamental question - how do you turn off System Restore in Windows 7? | Shortstop (632) | ||
| 840872 | 2009-12-18 07:54:00 | Before you start trying to clean anything make sure all your data that you cant afford to lose is backed up. Just a warning: I had a Vitumonde infection on a customers PC a few weeks back - if its the same sort there is no "cure" for it - the one I had attacked EVERY exe file in the PC, including any program trying to clean it out - by removing the infection (slaving the drive) it also destroyed most of the system files, only fix was a complete reinstall from fresh. |

| 840875 | 2009-12-18 08:09:00 | Right click on Computer ( either on desktop or start then computer on the right hand side) OR click start type in computer, and from the results right click it, ---properties / on the left, select "system protection" -- once it opens you will see your drive - select it - click on Configure - select Turn off.As shown in this picture (www.imagef1.net.nz) Edited: hopefully you dont have the same sort of infection - there are many that go by the same name / family of infections - just be prepared if it is one of the real nasty ones. |

| 840876 | 2009-12-18 08:25:00 | So did all that. Malwarebytes detected 2 infections which it removed - second scan was clean. Am I lucky or is there more to it? | Shortstop (632) | ||
