    Hey guys, Sophos Antivirus detected troj/virtum gen along with some other malware and suspicious behaviors. Ive downloaded Vundofix and HijackThis. I read a couple forums and tried to do it myself, but alas, im no pro.

    Vundofix detects absolutely nothing.

    Sophos can tell me where the virus is located, but I am unable to clean it up, or manually delete it, even in safe mode.

    Here is my HJT log:
    Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2
    Scan saved at 10:55:05 PM, on 4/30/2008
    Platform: Windows XP SP2 (WinNT 5.01.2600)
    MSIE: Internet Explorer v7.00 (7.00.6000.16640)

    Edit by chaslang: Inline HJT log removed. READ & RUN ME sticky not followed.

    If you guys can help me with this I'll sing your praises forever!
    Let me know if there is anything more that you need me to do.
    Thanks
    Patrick

    No problem; howver, if you really had a Virtumonde type infection it would be in your best interest to complete the instructions I gave you and attach the requested logs. These infections can scatter many files and registry keys aorund on your PC and it always requires manual removal steps to get rid of everything.

    I had final exams and papers coming up, I decided just to back up the files I needed, and did a full system recovery.

    I am now using AVG 8.0, in addition to Spybot SD and Ad-Aware SE.

    I havent had any problems. I just needed to get my computer running smoothly as quickly as possible, and didn't really have time to run multiple programs and wait for replies on a forum. I understand maybe this wasnt the best way to do it, but it seemed to work.
