Help removing a virus?

[Kaey]

Hey guys - somehow I picked up a Mal-Vundo virus and I ran a sweep with my Trend Micro Antivus 2007and like only 2 out of the 40 files could be quarentined - and I can't remove them without quarentining this virus with my program... Any help please?

Also, try this VundoFix by Atribune

Btw, were you using IE?

Cyber syphilis is never good!

Oh if you were using IE what version? 6 or 7? You can find out by clicking Help then About Internet Explorer.

What is the link to the virus information Trend found? Normally when it finds a virus it pops up a link that takes you to the Trend web site and displays the virus information. Can you provide the link here? Would be helpful in helping you remove it.

This is the Trend Micro heuristic detection for suspicious files that are compressed and encrypted and that manifest similar behavior and characteristics as the following malware:

VUNDO
If your Trend Micro product detects a file under this detection name, do not execute the file. Delete it immediately especially if it came from an untrusted or an unknown source (e.g., a Web site of doubtful nature). However, if you have reason to believe that the detected file is non-malicious, you can submit a sample for analysis. Detailed analysis will be done on submitted samples, and corresponding removal instructions will be provided, if necessary.

Thereya go (:

NOD32 + Spybot Search and Destroy = Virus and Spyware Free for 2 Years.

AVG free works great for me.

[Zanaionic]

i loves me some free AVG, firefox, and spybot-search and destroy. with these softwares i get alerted the minute a virus enters my computer (which isnt often) and from what ive read Firefox is the most compatible browser that is safer than Ie. Opera couldn't even allow me to watch you-tube videos (dont know about now but it wasn't compatible w/ flash)

dont know if im 100% protected but ive yet to face any eerious problems

[RenegadeAngel]

My computer's running Avast, McAfee, NOD32, Firefox with keylogger scrambler, and Search and Destroy at once. I download viruses just for the fun of it.

[Celestin]

...I don't know how to put this...

One anti-virus on active duty ( AVG here, very tough heuristics, turns up false positives ), one in the wings ( pref bootable disk, a crazy Russian one or something Kapsersky that turns up an assload of false positives ) is all you need. Throw in a firewall and good web-browsing habits and you're more than good to go. There is zero point in running multiple anti-viruses.

If I have issues, I also have... Sophos anti-rootkit, SUPERAntiSpyware, and Hijack This, but I only run those and my backup AV when I need to.

[RenegadeAngel]

Yeah, I only put on all that stuff because I'm a showoff, and because it's a shared computer, and I can't afford for it to get viruses. Yay, paranoia!

My antiviruses do each have their specialties though, like firewall, scan speed and accuracy, and other stuff.
