been fighting with virtumonde for about 3 hours after contracting it last night... via following a link on reddit.com, i think, in the form of surprise pdf script(?) that ran on my machine unannounced. is that how this trojan typically arrives?
anyway, after much trial and error and a gajillion restarts:
malwarebytes says i am now clean.
hijackthis says i am now clean.
spybot says i am now clean.
i've set a new system restore point and used cleanmgr to delete all previous restore points.
i still haven't reconnected the infected machine to the network, because i'm just not sure i'm clean, despite the 3 progs above all indicating that i am. call me a skeptic...
what am i missing? is there a step i've skipped. i didn't run combofix. do i need to at this point, if the other progs are all indicating the trojan is eradicated? combofix sounds kinda scary...
thanks in advance for your attention to this matter.
