I have a trojan virus?

Question

I have a trojan virus known as Vundo.dll. It keeps downloading adware onto my computer.

I have tried to remove it with McAfee, but nothing happens, and the program isn't listed in Add/Remove Programs. System retore is also a failure.

How do I remove this "Vundo"?

Answer 1

Sorry McAfee is not doing the job.
This is not a problem at all. Here's what you need to do.
1st, don't waste your time with AVG, spybot, ad aware, CA, spyhunter, superantispyware, avast, panda, kaspersky, windows defender or anything of the sort. Stay away from anything that is FREE when it comes to spyware and antivirus. There is a reason why they free. They are NOT good.
2nd, You need some of the best software out there. Norton Systemworks is very good. That's the only good software from Norton. I wouldn't recommend Norton Internet security, its not that great. Now the best software you should get is Spysweeper with Anti-virus, this software is too good and gets better everyday. This is Elite software. It blocks over 177,500 threats. No other software can compete with that or come close for that matter. It catches everything. I've used them all and it is 2nd to none.
3rd, after you install and update the software, since its in your system you will have to turn off system restore and then go into safe mode and run the scan and eliminate the virus. then after removal, reboot and turn system restore back on.
4th, (Optional) I recommend a Firewall from Zone Alarm, their free version is so good. Or you can buy their Pro version, but the free version will do more than the job.
5th, any probs during or after you do all this, send me an e-mail or IM. I guarenDAMNtee my answers and will help you in person from IM if needed.

Answer 2

Try LavaSoft's Adaware,
or Spybot search and destroy.
Do a google to download either they are freeware, or shareware programs.
One last thing if McAfee can't get rid of it, sounds like you have the wrong virus protection.

Try raising the level of your McAfee firewall to LOCKDOWN. Also, run your computer on SAFE MODE. Most importantly, unplug your internet modem ASAP. Stay off the internet for at least a couple days. Also, set a difficult PASSWORD on your computer.

A trojan virus means someone's hacking your computer. They can't hack your computer if they don't have full internet connection.
