    Hi, I've gotten vundo on my pc on 07/04/08 (july 04). I downloaded a torrent from sumotorrent on utorrent, it was a movie, 4.75 mb. It was supposed to be a movie file but when I saw it it was a folder, it was a zip file, it said the video file was pass protected and I had to open folder to use the video. As I opened the folder adware popped up on my screen, also my computer told me that 'automatic updates' were turned off. I did a scan with mccaffe and adaware and they both said they found and removed it. After that the automatic updates were still turned off, when i tried to turn it back on, it would not. The pc has slow processing and sluggish system performance, the system restore seems to have no restore points. i downloaded a host of different programs to remove vundo, super anti spyware, microsoft malware removal tool, cyber defense, symantec fix vundo, process explorer. Microsoft malware removal tool couldnt open, same thing with process explorer. Super anti spyware found a bunch of them, claimed to have deleted them, when I rebooted after they deleted I could not start windows and had to revert back to last good configuration. Does anybody know how to remove vundo? Is there any good programs I can buy?

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    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. Since you had an issue with SUPERAntispyware last time you ran it, just skip that step.

    You're welcome, but I strongly advise you to complete all steps and attach the 4 requested logs. Vundo infections frequently require additional manual removal even when a PC appears to be running okay.
