A different kind of Vundo infection...

    From what I read and heard, Vundo is supposed to plague your computer with pop-up ads and what-not from having the virus.

    ..Well however it doesn't do that for me. Infact not only that, but the ONE thing it does do is close every folder within a 5 second radius prior to when I open one. I can't use the search function on my computer, because it closes it everytime I open it. I can't open documents or anything either without it closing the folder. This is pretty annoying not being able to access any folders =/

    I've also downloaded and run "VundoFix" and Virtmundobegone, but neither program can detect the virus. Fact would be I still have it, however, because anything I start up my computer windows defender detects Vundo.

    When I did run VundoFix for the first time, it pulled up a .dll and there was no way of me getting on the internet, because when it was scanning it cleared my desktop and start bar, so I removed the .dll and I hope that didn't initiate some of the problems I'm having here.

    As said, I can't open any folders without them closing, so if I have to have access to opening a folder to remove this virus then that isn't going to work =/ I'm on a vista O/S btw.

    Thank you~

    [Edit] I also can't do -anything- on this: http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35407 because of my folders closing themself =/

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    Please try running steps of the READ & RUN ME FIRST in safe boot mode. Make sure that you try to run MGtools. It does not require an installation like other programs and as such, it will often run where others will not.

    Do not waste your time with programs like VundoFix and VirtumondeBegone. They are ineffective against the current forms of Vundo.
