I was running Spybot S&D. It stopped on a virtumonde .dll file in mid check. Dialog window appeared: "... recommended... reboot... and scan again. y, or n."
Y. Result = no change.
N. Result = no change.
Same dialog window reappears.
Spybot stops responding.
Cont-Alt-Delete.. used to end program.
Three separate runs, same results.
Infected pc now off. Using Son's.
For reasons I don't remember, while diddling with this on my pc, from a desktop application window, I disabled the internet connection. I'd read something about infected pc's auto downloading more infection. The connection icon disappeared from the bottom tool bar and I've no idea how to enable internet connectivity when I get back on to work on it!!!
May as well say I'm unfamiliar with much of this sort of thing, but I must look into it as my budget says no repair bill for this one.
Nonetheless, I have a virtumonde varient. When last shut down the infected pc was still fully operational, though possibly slowed.
Hence, my curiosity as to remedy.
