My issue, S&D finds Virtumonde. After it finshes up, I initiate fix. I disconnect cable front internet and restart my pc. If I run S&D again, Virtumonde is still there. How do I get rid of this virus. My operating system is windows xp prof service pack 2.
thanks

What version of Spybot - Search & Destroy are you running (Spybot » Help » About)?
If you are not running Spybot 1.6.0.30, consider upgrading. The downloads are located here:
Mirror selection - The home of Spybot-S&D!

There are two things that you can try to get rid of the things that Spybot-S&D is having difficulty removing:
Try to run it the next time you reboot.
Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Settings > Settings > look for "System start" (located half way down the page).
Check the option: "Run program once at next system startup".
Reboot the system.
Run it in Safe mode.
Reboot your system in Safe mode and run Spybot-S&D.
