Malware Minestrone with Virtumonde ?
Hi.
I'm new here, please bare with me if I screw up (HijackThis log is at end below-------------)
My desktop PC started going slow several weeks ago. AVG scans had deleted the usual assortment of tracking cookies and very occasionally the odd suspected virus
Something was obviously wrong - There was excessive hard disc activity and it might take a couple of minutes just to start notepad, it would often lock up if several windows were open simultaneously, it would fail to shut down so I would resort to pulling out the lead before restarting.
I downloaded and ran a spyware checker (yes, seriously overdue) and it apparently removed various nasties but did not significantly improve the computers degraded performance
Over the last week or so I have run various other spyware checkers with a variety of results - One result that has appeared a number of times is Virtumonde (sometimes identified as Virtumonde.sci
My efforts have significantly improved the machine but Virtumonde keeps reinstalling -probably after reboot and perhaps needing internet connection as well.
I have come to the point where even I realise that I need help so below is a description of my most recent efforts -hopefully I have done more good than harm.
-----------------
I downloaded StopZilla after following a link from ://www.safer-networking.com/tools/ (I mistakenly(?) thought that this site was associated with yourselves at http://www.safer-networking.ORG
(safer-networking.com rather seems to mimic yourselves by way of colour scheme etc. -Does anyone know if this site is OK or is it harmful?)
StopZilla identified 2 infections of VXGame & 10 RabioSearch Enhance NOT virtumonde.txt
StopZilla did not identify virtumonde (but f-vmonde.exe indicated that ........StopZilla.dll ? had become infected with virtumonde ! (reboot requested and done during StopZilla installation)
StopZilla identified: 2 infections of VXGame & 10 infections of RabioSearch Enhance:

Manually I did:
C:\Program Files\AMV Studio Utilities\SrcCount.dll Delete permission denied . I RENAMED it xxxSrcCount-dll.bak
C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Owner\Start Menu\Programs\AMV Studio Utilities\uninstall AMV Studio Utilities.lnk (.lnk was not shown on file) -DELETED the directory anyway
StopZilla experienced an error and closed
I have not attempted anything with the 10 "Registry Key" problems identified
No reboot was done
I uninstalled StopZilla
scheduled run of AVG antivirus Free found ~8 Tracking cookies -user abort before end (usually stops before end anyway)
connect to web & check update of AVG & Spybot
I Ran Spybot S&D which found:
