Hi,
I have AVG and Spybot and they are updated. AVG cleaned off some Trojans and Spybot cleaned off Virtumonde and some tracking cookies. Virtumonde comes back everytime I scan. If I regedit and delete this key
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-23361614-3276182822-2560479030-1009\Software\Microsoft\aldd
Spybot does not find Virtumonde, but it always comes back after I reboot. How can I get rid of this pest?
Additional behavior occurs after I open IE (I use Firefox usually). In addition to popups, spybot finds tracking cookies as follows: Coremetrics, ReliableStats, SystemDoctor2006, WebTrends Live, and Winsoftware.WinAntivirusPro2006. Spybot can of course clean these off, but they always come back. I don't use IE, but I don't like these tracking cookies popping in everytime it is opened for the occasional need.
Following is a post of my HijackThis log. Your help is greatly appreciated!
