    Hello all :wave

    The purpose of this post is, first of all, to say thank you, and hope that it's not premature to do so ;). I had the Vundo virus, and after completing every step in the READ & RUN THIS sticky, I am symptom free.

    My question is, would you recommend any further action on my part? Any additional scans, etc? Should I post my logs even though I am currently symptom free or only if I find that the Vundo virus is still on my PC?

    And where the heck did it come from?! Unfortunately I have no idea what could have caused it, as it happened shortly after my husband starting using my PC after his became terribly eaten up. Figures, eh?

    You should attach the requested logs so that we can be sure that all of it is removed.

    Looks good..the scans did their jobs. Let's just clean up some stuff:

    Run this: Disable/Remove Windows Messenger to remove Windows Messenger. Do not confuse Windows Messenger with MSN Messenger because they are not the same. Windows Messenger is a frequent cause of popups.

    Use add/remove programs to uninstall:
    Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.1_02"
    Java(TM) 6 Update 7

    Use windows explorer to find and delete:
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\nuudwnlj.tmp

    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.
    Reboot and install:
    Java Runtime 6

    Now tell me now things are running.

    Hey there, just wanted to let you know that I'm not ignoring ya'll. :) I really appreciate your taking the time to look at my logs. Unfortunately, due to some rough financial times right now, I am temporarily without internet on my own computer. As soon as our internet gets turned back on, I will complete the steps that you outlined, and let you know how things are going.

    Thanks again!

    Sorry to hear that....though I do know what you mean.

    You can remove the file without internet, and you can always download the others to a different computer and transfer with cd or thumb drive....though neither is crucial at the moment if no internet.

    I'll be here. :)
