Help with Virtumondo

A few days ago i got infected with a Smitfraud type rouge program. (I say "type" because the symptoms i encountered differed somehwt from what i found on the net). I managed to fix it, or most of it. It seems that i still have a Virtumonde infection which i can't get rid of.

Nod32 says it constalty blocks a dll with Virtumonde (and that i can't delete the file, but will do so after a reset, which it doesn't).

Spybot says it cleaned it, but i should do a reset-scan. It also finds it there, it cleans it, but as i enter windows it comes back.

I also did a Safe Mode Spybot scan which turned out as a clean system... its strange

run malwarebytes followed by another scan with hjt. post both logs.

Hi Shelf

Before your post i found and run
http://www.f-secure.com/sw-desc/virtumonde.shtml
which seemed to fix my problem.

Spybot no longer reports Virtumonde now. However Nod32 still quarantined a day later a random 5 character long .dll in sys32 reporting it to be Virtumonde.


After your post i downloaded Malwarebytes, and tried to run it. Every Scan has rebooted my PC after a couple of minutes. It reports up to 5 infected files, but it doesn't save any log because of the reset. I have no clue into why, but Windows reports recovering after a "Serious problem" after the reboot.

Anyway a new Hjt log

hi k3liutZu,

if the reboot/message problems started after you installed malwarebytes then i would uninstall it via the add/remove programs panel.

lets try this instead:

download and run vundofix.exe:

http://www.atribune.org/ccount/click.php?id=4

* Double-click VundoFix.exe to run it.
* Click the Scan for Vundo button.
* Once it's done scanning, click the Remove Vundo button.
* You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files, click YES
* Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo.
* When completed, it will prompt that it will reboot your computer, click OK.
* Please post the contents of C:\vundofix.txt and a new HiJackThis log.

Note: It is possible that VundoFix encountered a file it could not remove.
In this case, VundoFix will run on reboot, simply follow the above instructions starting from "Click the Scan for Vundo button." when VundoFix appears at reboot.
