  1. Mediaplex and Adrevolver are just tracking cookies, they are harmless and they will be reset on your computer, every day, simply by visiting websites that have advertising. Just keep removing them, or don't, either way they cannot harm your computer.

    However Virtumonde is a nasty infection , that must be totally removed.

    VundoFix.exe is a specialized removal tool developed to remove Vundo (aka Virtumonde) infections.

    VundoFix removal tool is here:

    http://vundofix.atribune.org/

    It's free.


  2. This site has detailed instructions showing how to remove Virtumonde using free tools called Vundo Fix and/or Virtumonde Begone (both free - download links provided).  Read the article carefully.

  3. get rid of all those spyware programs and virus scanners you don't need them. I don't know wich browser you use but that is where you allow or not allow those spammers and scammers into your pc.

    go in your browser toolbar to tools than options then privacy block those websites such as adrevolver yieldmanager virtumonde 2o7.net doubleclick and so on you can block them their and you are having a quiet live without all those virusscanners the more you use them the more they bring them in your pc.they ar rubish, block those websites and coockies in the browser toolbar "tools" delete the coockies and restart your pc. Do check regulary for new installed coockies and block them again. And only use one security protection program not 5 different.


  4. Unless you place them on the block list in IE or they're in the exceptions list in Firefox then they we be reinstalled every time you load your browser.

    Firefox allows you to block all cookies except those on a safe list that you create yourself.
