Windows Vista Ultimate SP2 32bit (fully updated)
My computer got infected with Virtumonde and other malware that I believe they might have downloaded by Virtumonde. I got aware of this when I noticed unexpected behavor of explorer.exe and crashes of explorer.exe with combination of "Windows Explorer" showing up in my Start Menu (you know where the most opened programs are displayed so i thought something keeps opening it). NOD32 didn't find anything nor Kaspersky online scanner. Then I installed SB S&D and ran a full scan under Safe Mode. Results showed Virtumonde and other malwares so i cleaned them (some of them required restarting and cleaning)
I also used VundoFix 7.0.6 but came with no results..
Windows Defender alerted me with some Virtumonde.A and Vundo.gen!R popups that I choosed to clean. Although before I had some weird startup items from system32 with some weird named (propably randomly generated) .dll that I was always disable and deleting the dlls. No there are no startup items showing anymore but im pretty sure that some bad dlls remained on my system32 folder.
Also there is a suspicious BHO that I deleted its dll with Secure Shredder:
{3C897B16-7AC4-4842-A125-DC6BF742CE7F} ()
location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser Helper Objects\
BHO name:
CLSID name:
Path: C:\Windows\system32\
Long name: nnnonKaB.dll
Trying to remove the BHO with Spybot dont seems to work as it is regenerated again:sad:

I forgot to mention that I cant update Windows Defender neither use Windows Update because of 0x80070422 error. Im pretty sure it's because of the virus..
It seems that the malware had stopped Windows Update service and set the option to disabled from automatic.
I restarted the service and Windows Update/Defender Update works OK.
