Very weird thing happened involving virtumonde / vundo trojan...?

Question

I have F prot antivirus on my computer. Yesterday, it kept popping up saying it had found infections. I ran a scan and 9 Virtumonde trojan infections- and I could not remove them, it would just say ''failed to quarantine''. Later I ran the scan again, and it found 8, wtf? Today, F prot didn't pop-up saying anything. Thinking this was odd, I ran the scan AGAIN, and nothing came up??? So then to be on the safe side, I downloaded Adaware and ran a scan with that...it didn't find any virtumonde...So where the f*ck did it go? I worried. Is it still on my computer undetected now? Can it corrupt my antivirus? I was thinking I was going to have to take it in to get it fixed...but I can't find it now.

Answer 1

Download Spybot Search and Destroy from Safer Networking ... turn OFF your system restore, update and run Spybot ... you'll probably find it will want to do another scan when our computer reboots ... this is good ..... once it has scanned and cleaned up your computer ... turn system restore back ON  

Answer 2

firstly, try to search it on your antivirus quarantine folder, maybe its already there. and update your antivirus dor the latest detections. then restart your computer, before windows boots up, hit F8 then choose safe mode. then run a full scan of your antivirus.  then restart.

that is strange if i was you i would download a differant antiviris maybe advast just a trial will do because it does a boot scan i think before windows start  

Answer 4

Vundo is a very widely known trojan, one of the most dangerous infact. The only way to fix this completely, is to do a format, and re-install windows. And even afterwards, you will have to do some patch work before your computer returns to normal configuration.

And yes, Vundo does turn off ALL security systems on your computer.
