    Hello everyone im fairly new here and ive been so gratefull for all the advice you guys have given me. However I must call upon you once more. A couple hours ago I was browsing the internet and my McAfee alerted me that I had picked up somthing. So i scanned with Superanti-spyware(because the McAfee Virusscan is rubbish for me) and I picked up about 10 different types of files in each of my regestry, memory and files with about 30 total infections. Most either started with, had in it, or ended with the word vundo. I proceeded to remove the malware and reboot. Upon the reboot i entered my screen where I enter my password, it entered correctly, I logged in, my desktop backround shows then the windows box shows up and says logging out. It returns me to the login. Now heres the kicker, I tried to boot in safe mode and every other single option it gives you when you strike F8 at start-up. I have know idea what to do. I know you guys love a challenge. PLEASE HELP!!

    Please follow the instructions in the READ & RUN ME FIRST link given further down and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.
    • If you have problems where no tools seem to run, please try following the steps given in the below and then continue on no matter what you find. You only need to try the TDSSserv steps if having problems getting scans in the Read & Run Me First.
    • 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


    Helpful 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 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 and the manual updates for SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes and Spybot ( links are given in the READ & RUN ME) onto another PC and then 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.
    3. To avoid additional delay in getting a response, it is advised that after completing the READ & RUN ME you also read this sticky:
    4. Any additional post is a bump which will add more delay. Once you attach the logs, your thread will be in the work queue and as stated our system works the oldest threads FIRST.

    Thank you very much but I must clarify, when attempting to boot in safe mode and the other options available when striking the F8 key at start up, all of the options were unsuccessful. I am not able to access the machine.

    Well, we can't do much until you get the system stable enough to run some scans so at this point I would recommend the Software Forum to get it stable.
