Hi, I'm having some technical issues that I'm hoping someone here can help me with.
I'm running Windows XP on a Dell Inspiron 8600. I have McAfee on my computer which has told me that I have a Trojan named Vundo on my machine (that it can't remove).
I did a little bit of research and what I have kind of sounds like Vundo. I can't click on links when I search for stuff on Google or Yahoo or I get sent to some weird 3rd party site that it's the link I clicked. iExplorer will also sometimes run in the background and show ads or play weird audio files.
I downloaded VundoFix and tried to get rid of it with that, but the program did now find any instances of Vundo.
I read the information that has been posted on this forum and tried to download both Spybot and HiJack this, but once I download them I can't get them to open... I looked into this a little bit and brought up my Task List and it shows that those files are running, but I can't get their windows to open or anything.
Can someone help me out here and get me started on the road so I can grab a HiJack this report and start to figure out what's wrong with my machine?
Thanks.
Sorry... typo... that should read that VundoFix did NOT find any instances of Vundo.
