A trace of Vundo.EQW

    Hey.

    I recently picked up a new computer and it has been running smoothly up until yesterday, when Explorer.exe began failing (closing, opening, closing, opening)

    My anti virus, BitDefender, picked up a trace of Vundo.EQW Trojan, which it automatically deleted.

    I've rebooted, and the problem still occurs.

    I ran VundoFix (with no traces picked up)

    Rebooted.

    Ran Virtumondobegone - forced restart.

    It picked up a .dll in which it removed, (log attached)

    But even after this, the problem this occurs, making the computer virtually impossible to use.

    As I had my eye on BitDefender Real-Time Scanner, I saw the process of an .ini and .ini2 pop up each time explorer.exe closed.

    From what I have read, Vundo is difficult to remove as it creates new traces of itself every restart of winlogin and explorer.exe.....

    I've also attached a HijackThis log.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated,

    Thanks in advance.

    Note: I also receive an occasional 'No Disk' error, but I don't know if this has any relation to the Vundo problem...
