    My daughters laptop had the Vundo virus several months ago, which you helped me successfully remove. She has Windows XP.

    At that time I dowloaded this removal tool: Symantec Trojan.Vundo Removal Tool, set it to a place I could find it, and completed the fixvundo.exe in Safe Mode, and again in regular mode, while not connected to the internet.

    The virus has returned, but this particular tool is not taking care of it this time. I have tried it twice but it is not cleaning it. The object name is just a bit different however I am not sure if this is of concern. Here is what is showing this time:
    C:\\WINDOWS\system32\xxwuv.dll

    It might help to add my husband and my son seem to like to play an online game called Runescape, and the only time this virus seems to show itself is if they have been playing this game, however I am unsure if there is a correlation. What might I try this time?

    I will be trying to clean her computer but following the instructions on mine. Thanks again.

    Thank you for your assistance. This time around everything came up clean but the virus remains. I did the log, I hope correctly. I apologize as I am quite new. I am happy to try again should it be incorrect.

    All 4 attached. It seems to be gone. Since this is the 2nd time around, anything we should be watching for to avoid this again in future? Are there any final steps I should take? Please advise. I appreciate your time.
