    Unhappy "Deny Change" to registry denied (virtumonde)

    I have a virtumonde and virtumonde.dll that keeps making it's way into my system even after Spybot says it gone. After "fixing" the problem 3 times, firefox still gets stuck everytime I run a query.

    Worse still an Important registry entry has been changed and there is nothing I can do about it

    Category: Browser Helper Object
    Change: Value deleted

    Entry: {4dd6a8f1-58f6-4c11-998c-ec801603481d}

    old data: none
    new data: none

    I have the option to "Allow Change"
    Unfortunatly...
    The "DENY CHANGE" button is not active

    This happened the first time I ran spybot and I allowed the change as there was little else I could do.

    Can anyone help me?
    p.s. also help me fully remove virtumonde?

    Default status report

    I allowed the change.

    Duh, it was to delete the .dll bastard!

    yet after I did the thing tried to rewrite itself

    eventually I got the idea and hit the check box to repeat that action

    the virtumunde went so crazy trying to rewrite itself that my monitor was overwhelmed with denials... until I started running Search & Destroy again this time on highest priority in settings...

    when the search finished the attack started again until I OKed it be destroyed the attack stopped

    for now...

    Hello,

    In order for one of our volunteer helpers to advise you, please follow the procedure in this sticky:

    "BEFORE you POST"(READ this Procedure BEFORE Requesting Assistance)

    Start a new topic providing the log/s requested, I will close this one as helpers look for threads without a response.

    Regards.
