Virtumonde Removal Assistance [Archive]

Looks like this is a common one recently but I wanted to have someone review my specific case vs just reviewing and following the recommendations in the previous similar posts.

Working on a personal PC that has recently started having issues w/ IE. Whenever I open a browser page, additional IE instances will automatically start up on their own and occasionally my page will automatically redirect to a page I'm not looking to access.

I've removed/re-installed Spybot 1.6 to make sure I am running a clean copy. I've run scans and attemted to remove the two Virtumonde and one Windows Security issues that Spybot finds each time. Spybot indicates it is removing them successfully but when I re-run the scan, they are back again.

I have followed the notes in Spybot and ran the scan both connected and disconnected from the Internet but I still have the problem.

I'm including my HiJack and Uninstall list as it looks like those are typically the first files you ask for.

Here is my Hijack log:

Welcome to Safer Networking, I wish to be sure you have viewed and understand this information.
"BEFORE you POST" (READ this Procedure before Requesting Assistance) http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288
All advice given is taken at your own risk.
Please make sure you have read this information so we are on the same page.

Make sure you read and follow the directions, anything else will slow the process and waste both of our time. I suggest you keep this computer offline except when troubleshooting, the junk may download more. If you have any tool I use, delete it and download it new from the link I provide. Read and follow the directions carefully, the tools will not work unless you do.
The junk can be tough to remove, so do not expect fast or easy.

This malware/adware is tough to remove, Spybot tries but I know of no program that can do it without some manual help because of the way the hackers keep changing how it infects. I will look at your uninstall list first, since you posted it.

Uninstall list: I look for malware and security issues and will not know all of your programs, but you should.

Hackers are using out of date programs to infect folks more and more,
Here is a small free tool that lets you know when something needs an update if you are interested:
http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/personal/ While PSI runs in the System Tray for realtime notifications, I personally prefer to turn it off in MSConfig and run it from All Programs when I want to do a check.

1) We need first to disable TeaTimer that it doesn't interfere with fixes. You can re-enable it when you're clean again:
* Run Spybot-S&D in Advanced Mode.
* If it is not already set to do this Go to the Mode menu select "Advanced Mode"
* On the left hand side, Click on Tools
* Then click on the Resident Icon in the List
* Uncheck "Resident TeaTimer" and OK any prompts.
* Restart your computer.
(leave TT disabled until we finish)
