Please Help--Dealing With Virtumonde

    I'm at the end of my rope trying to obliterate the hellspawn known as Virtumonde and Virtumonde.prx (?) from my computer. Despite my best efforts, SpyBot continually observes its presence on my computer after it should have been deleted. It occasionally shows up accompanied by Zlob.downloader.bs, but I managed to make that go away for a while by following a serious of HijackThis suggestions I found.

    In my desperation, I downloaded ComboFix, but as soon as it started running, ComboFix found a rootkit and rebooted, and when my computer came back online, both ComboFix and HijackThis had disappeared. This happened to me twice (I downloaded HijackThis and ComboFix again.) I don't have the Windows Vista CD on me at the moment, so I can't enter Recovery Mode; the software known as Vundofix resolutely refuses to admit I have Vundo or Virtumonde on my computer even though SpyBot has found it repeatedly.

    Basically at the moment I'm left cowering in Safe Mode, hoping there's some way for me to get rid of this and save my beloved laptop. If you can help, please do and accept my eternal gratitude.

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    Please uninstall HJT as it will be properly installed when you do the following:

    Please follow the instructions in the below link and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.

    • If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going.
    • Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not.
    READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide

    Notes:

    1. If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode. You can run the steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:
    2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools on another PC and burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.

    Thanks, the triple cocktail in the Anti-Malware thread you mentioned seems to have done the trick, at least according to SpyBot. Huge gracias; you've helped save my sanity with that link. (My bad on skipping it before; I was worried ComboFix would flip its bit again and ruin things, but by doing everything else I think I'm in the clear.)

    There may still be traces that we need to remove and the only way for me to know is to see the requested logs. :)

    Those are the logs I have at the moment. I removed the other antispyware software because there was so much of it and it was taking up a lot of space and resources :eek:. Also, I'm terrified ComboFix will eat my computer's brains. Anyway, I hope these logs will do. I'll download HijackThis and get a log if that's required.
