spyware doctor does not remove vundo trojan

[hgllgh]

I got infected with virtumonde/vundo trojan. spyware doctor detected virtumonde and cleaned it but I am still getting AVG alerts when vundo generated random dlls and tries to stick them in the system32 folder.

I have only done an intelliscan and not a full scan.

Has anyone else used SD to remove vundo?
I am worried that my credit card details can be stolen by key logging!!!

Hi,
I've seen this on a customers PC. I used both SD and Windows Live Onecare running in full scan mode to remove this. Its quite a nasty bug which likes to spread itself across your system, if I remember rightly I had to run 3 or 4 full scans before it was happy.

thanks for that will let everyone know how i get on.

in the meantime, is there a risk if logging onto online banking or making on online credit card transaction ?

Please try to use the dedicated program "VundoFix" which can be found here: http://vundofix.atribune.org/

There are many variants/viruses that are very hard to remove, even for the "Top companies" - and Vundo is supposed to be one of them. That's why there's dedicated software created to take care of these threats specifically.


All companies can improve, and this should obviously be improved by PC Tools, but no product is perfect - none.


Once you discover your system being infected with some nasty malware that simply can't be taken care of - search for dedicated removal of that threat.

Hope this helps! :)

I would certainly be weary about sensitive data while infected. Try the removal first before continuing with banking etc.

With this being such a nasty bug it would also be worth backing up your most important data and making a fresh install of Windows. I'm sure you, like many others, don't want to do this, so for future issues should they occur, maybe think of a system backup product, depending on your budget, the cheapest option would be software like Acronis True Image or the more expensive option would be Windows Home Server, both are very good products.:)

hgllgh,

Never rely only on 1 security program to delete a nastie (no one program is perfect 100%)
First of all do full scan with SD (by the way with other scanners also)

Also scan and delete if found with other antispyware or AV (your choice):
- Kaspersky (full functional trial for 30 days)
-ESET Antivirus (full functional trial for 30 days)
- CounterSpy (full functional trial version for 15 days)
-Gmer (free, very good antirootkit)
- a-squared free or a-squared AntiMalware (full functional for 30 days)
-Spy Emergency (full functional version for 15 days)
- Norton Security Scan (free, you can download in Google Pack)
etc.

And of course, I would not do banking if having a problem like this not fixed.
Good luck.
