I too have been infected by the Virtumonde Trojan Horse. I had tried several antivirus and spyware programs (ad-Aware and XoftSpySE) before discovering Spybot, and it is the only one that found this infection. Just as with others, after removal attempts Spybot 1.6 says it cannot remove one of the 4 lines of code in the registry that are the problem; in any case all 4 return after every startup. So far it just appears to be annoying - randomly and suddenly a new IE7 window will appear that I close as fast as possible and it goes dormant for a while.
This is my first post, and I did read the tutorial on what to do. In getting ready I have already downloaded the setups for HijackThis and MBAM, but not done anything with them.
I am unable to figure out how to temporarily disable Spybot, Tea Time or McAfee (the only protection I had originally). Sorry for not posting a HJT log, but this is being written from another computer than my own, because on my infected computer my login leads to a blank page that is still blank after 5 minutes, so I suspect something in the settings for Spybot may be inhibiting the page from displaying. Hate to think I have to uninstall it to go through your recommended cleaning process, but if that's what it takes. . . My other pathway is a complete clean system reinstall.
Windows XT Home, SP3.
I await your help. Thanks,
Craig
OK:
It looks like I can get into this forum from my own computer. Here is the HJT log:
