VUNDO.B Virus

Hi
I am praying someone can please help me. I seem to have this virus on my pc and have spent the whole day trying to remove it - without any success.

I have read through the article on http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35407 and have followed every step, yet still the virus remains.

Must admit to knowing very little about the technical jargon, this has made following all the different threads on this matter difficult for me - Im a dunce . If someone can spare the time to help I will be very grateful and will be sure to post a decent donation to this site.

To give a brief overview...

I run xp and have up to date norton anti virus software.
From this morning I have a norton antivirus pop up that is permanantently fixed on my pc.
It says..

Object name: c:\windows\fonts\regbin.dll
virus name: trojan.vundo.b
action taken: unable to repair this file.

I went to symantec and downloaded the removal tool but it said it could not find the virus.

I then followed the steps recommended on this site. What I did notice was that after doing this I was notified I had further viruses - javabytever.A and Dialler.Aconti. Had no success removing these either.

I have attached my highjack this logfile (did not know what this was until now) so hopefully someone can help identify the steps I need to take to remove. I actually tried removing some of the files in the log - as per instructions - but they just kept reappearing.

Thanks
Jason

 

Hi Jason,

Try the Manual Removal process here,

Good Luck, and let us know.

I also have the problem with Vundo.B and have tried the manual delete and it does not work. The message I get back is that the file is in use and can not be deleted.
The file is in the AppPatch folder and if I open AppPatch (in Safe mode) and then go to Task Manager to stop the application, the folder just closes with no ability to delete the file.

If anyone has any suggestions it would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

 

I just got off the phone with Symantec. They have just released a removal tool for Vundo.B. Do a search on their web site and you can find it.

I needed to run it in the safe mode to get it to eliminate the files - but it did work.

Hope this works for everyone else.

Good luck

 

There is a god after all!

It does appear that symantec must have updated their fix yesterday as it was originally not working when I downloaded it in the morning.

I have now run the tool in safe mode and the virus has been removed! A HUGE thanks for the help, seriously, I thought I was going to go insane.

Thanks as well to the moderators - before I found this site I had tried several forums to no avail. Before I knew nothing, now I know something
