I've been having strange occurances of IE starting up and loading random websites recently (although for regular browsing I use Firefox) and also my Symantec antivirus has found Trojan.Vundo. I deleted it, but it returned. I deleted it again and has not returned but I still have the problems with IE running now and again. I've followed some advice from other threads and tried using VundoFix, but no files are found. Also, I tried using the online virus search suggested in the sticky but it failed.
I've ran Spybot S&D and the Vundo was there also but after several scans it seems to have gone (also ran it in safe mode and the system was clean). But the problem still exists.
Finally, although my antivirus and firewall is up to date I tried to do windows update with IE and then a new IE browser opens and goes to some webpage with "Sorry this page no longer available", so I close both IE windows, I'm not sure if it is safe to use IE?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Dave
