671618 2008-05-22 08:10:00 I've tried using Spyware Doctor, that shows the virus is linked to a heap of start-up files and files that are in use. When I try and delete it, computer crashes and restarts (presumably because its trying to delete important files?).

Also tried Spybot, that says it has deleted them, then checks again on a restart and finds it again and deletes again. Same old cycle.

Anyone know how to knock this on the head?

671624 2008-05-22 09:21:00 Hijack This will not remove Virtumonde virus completely, it is a very difficult one to remove.

Do a Google search for Virtumonde virus removal and you will see numerous suggested methods to remove this nasty.
Safari (3993)
671625 2008-05-22 09:31:00 tried that but they are all for specific people that have asked for help and have to do a lot of manual removal. Tried using VundoFix but that didnt even find anything. Kryptos (2831)

671627 2008-05-22 22:03:00 Try this

Go to This site here (forums.majorgeeks.com), download SDfix, follow the instruction on running it.

Then from my Signature below, download malewarebytes, I see you already have,Spyware doctor & Spybot, but update and run again. Instructions for running Malewarebytes, are in the first part of This PDF (dl4u.savefile.com)That I created and give to my customers so they can run the programs and not forget how - Sometimes ;)

Also download & run Superantispyware (http://www.superantispyware.com/) -

While downloading, get a better AV, download Nod32 (www.eset.com) - also download This PDF on how to set it up (dl4u.savefile.com) Once setup , click on Computer scan and select standard scan.
