    Dear MajorGeek

    My PC (Win XP, Home Ed, SP2) was recently infected (I think via the kids) with mainly Vundo viruses causing pop ups, freezes and crashes, and the Windows automatic updates to fail. I already had McAfee and loaded Ad-Aware, Spybot then SAS. Afterwards the McAfee security centre panel wouldn't display. I then found your site and went through all the steps in Read & Run Me First. This has helped a lot but some pop ups still get through. I'm nearly there but can you make me really clean? Many thanks.

    Let's start with this:

    Please use add/remove programs to uninstall:
    Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_03

    Now download The Avenger by Swandog469, and save it to your Desktop.

    * Extract avenger.exe from the Zip file and save it to your desktop
    * Run avenger.exe by double-clicking on it.
    * Do not change any check box options!!
    * Copy everything in the Quote box below, and paste it into the "Input script here:"
    part of the window:

    * Now click the Execute button.
    * Click Yes to the prompt to confirm you want to execute.
    * Click Yes to the Reboot now? question that will appear when Avenger finishes running.
    * Your PC should reboot, if not, reboot it yourself.
    * A log file from Avenger will be produced at C:\avenger.txt and it will popup for you to view when you login after reboot.

    Also delete all files in the below folders except ones from the current date (Windows will not let you delete the files from the current day).
    C:\WINDOWS\Temp
    C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Temp

    Now download and install:
    Java Runtime 6

    Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file that will be created by running this and also attach the log from Avenger.

    Looks good......now to clean up from the scans:

    First use windows explorer to find and delete:
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\obtf501

    Now Copy the bold text below to notepad. Save it as fixME.reg to your desktop. Be sure the "Save as" type is set to "all files" Once you have saved it double click it and allow it to merge with the registry.
    Make sure that you tell me if you receive a success message about adding the above
    to the registry. If you do not get a success message, it definitely did not work.


    If you do get a success message, then:

    Dear TimW

    You are the master - I've used my computer several times and it's now squeaky clean! Only one more question - I've already got a McAfee subscription but your 'How to Protect yourself...' article suggested a real time blocker, spybot and SpywareBlaster so what should I do? Once again many thanks to MajorGeeks - with you guys around, there's still hope for mankind!

    You can keep your McAfee subscription ....the others will work in conjunction with it without a problem. :)

    And you are most welcome....safe surfing.
