    Hi guys,

    Just built myself a new pc recently and been having some problems with it. Problems started when installing an certain game (name will remain anonomous) but since then, i've noticed that i've contracted the Vundo trojan.

    First point of call was a complete format of my drives ( 2 320gb's run in a striped raid set) which was to no avail. It appeared that the virus was still there!! How is this possible?

    Proceeded to do a cleanup using all the regular programs as normal (combofix, AVG, hijackthis and also some various Vundo removal tools which i obtained from you site)

    Now the first tool "vundofix" found 3 files in the system32 directory and removed them.

    The second tool symantec's "fixvundo" proceeded to find nothing. Ran the combofix (which you can see the logs below).

    Then ran AVG, which didn't find anything.

    Started up hijackthis to see what was now running. ( you can see before and after logs below after i deleted some entries)

    SO............. after all this, could someone please tell me is this looks ok now?


    Edit: removed inline logs for guide to be run


    Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

    Cheers, Rob

    Welcome to Majorgeeks!


    As you likely already know is that malware is a massive pest these days and does its level best to hide itself in any number of places, So just a Hijackthis and Vundo logs will not show all the malware that can be on your PC, the full guide of our steps below has a few other logs that show alot of the malware on your PC and where they are located, you may now be clean if your not having any notices of infection but in just running those scans only you may well still have malware lurking, which is why it returns.

    Best steps to follow and fully remove the infection are these, the malware may still be present after the scans, but this is where the logs come in as our malware experts will know the location and issue you some removal steps.


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