Answer 1

If you get a pop up saying you have:

win32/adware.virtumonde

win32/PrivacyRemover.M64

Its a fake, you have a rogue program on your PC.

Run this free program:

Tip:

Bet you get a pop up for XP antivirus ? that's the rogue.

Answer 2

This trojan/virus sucks!!!! Problem is when you search for a remedy, after downloading the software and run, they show you all the infected components but in order to fix, you must purchase the program. No problem if you only knew that the program would fix the situation before you fork out your cash. Nevertheless, I did make some purchases that seemed to fix my desktop and keep me working. First I already had Spybot S&D. This helps but no complete fix. I purchased SpyHunter 3, and that too helped but still my desktop was still invaded with the Win32/Adware garbage. Finally I decided to try SpyDoctor by PC Tools and that fixed the desktop. I'm not sure if I'm completely out of the woods, but these purchases did get me running. Hopefully this post will at least help you decide what to put your money toward. Good Luck!!!
