View Full Version : Likely Vundo Infection

I have an HP G70 which runs Vista.

So my stupid mother has been downloading cracked casual games onto my laptop...remind me again why to never explain what a "torrent" is to someone daft enough to not know. I had AVG which immediately shut her programme down and she ran to fetch me as it popped up with a trojan message, this was yesterday.

As I'm no expert a friend of mine offered to spend the day removing it but he has now admitted defeat and advised me to come to you guys for help. Here is a list of the things we tried between us...

Uninstalled UTorrent. (I admit I myself had been using Frostwire for music but I have uninstalled that as well, my friend has already well and truly slapped me on the wrist for this :( ).

I asked AVG to remove the threat, it asked for a reboot but then did nothing.

I then Downloaded Vundofix, which could not detect any files, even when run in safe mode. At first he could not run the laptop in safe mode as it froze upon reboot (something to do with safe mode freezing at crcdisk.sys) so he went into the boot menu and ticked something.

My friend then downloaded and scanned with malwarebytes which again did not detect the vundo files that AVG did, just a few smaller spyware issues.

He installed SUPERAntiSpyware. He says I should use this instead of Spybot but I'm not so sure about this. Which should I keep?

He attempted to do a panda security scan a few times but Firefox just kept crashing...it did state each time it had found 2 files but I don't know what they were as it would crash.

Uninstalled AVG (as he thought Vundo could have corrupted it)

Installed Microsoft security essentials as a replacement and scanned...Nothing was found.

From memory that is all the things he did and I am now coming to you for help! I have the occasional and very random tab opening in Firefox and Opera to advertising sites, generally to do with spyware as I assume that's what we have been googling all day?? Since deleting AVG we have seen no trace of the Vundo files but can only assume they are still there somewhere due to the tabs opening on their own.

I've followed your requirements before posting (hopefully correctly) and hope to have given you all the info required. Many thanks in advance for any help that can be provided if help is indeed needed!

Here is my hijackthis log: -

Thank you for the reply, I didn't think I was going to get one! I managed to fix the problem myself after the whole thing refused to boot up. A Hijackthis log has been checked, among other things, and I have been given the all-clear.

Many, many thanks for all the help you give people on these boards everyone! Sorry to have wasted your time.
