    Re: problem with virtumonde by and k virus problem

    see if you can get onto the trendmicrosystems housecall online scan

    hit the scan now button
    let the little activeX thing download & run
    then off you go.

    if you hit it at a good time it will offer to clear all your problems for free.

    incase that does not work

    download

    combofix
    &
    smitfraudfix

    and run those in safemode [F8 after post beep from a repower]

    you will prob find this is due to browsing the internet with an A/C that has admin rights

    create a new user with admin right

    disconnect from the internet

    reboot into the new A/C

    goto folder: docs&settings

    under each listed users named folder
    find localsetting folder & delete it.

    change the A/C type for every user to limited access

    ONLY have ONE administrator A/C and NEVER use that for live browsing.

    reboot the pc and run the above progs in safemode only.

    reconnect internet

    login and off you go

    keep me informed

    Re: problem with virtumonde by and k virus problem

    right well
    you must have another ok pc to be here

    use that and a penstick to download com and smit

    then clean the docs and setting files as i said

    and run the wto progs in safemode

    you dont need to restore or the internet on it

    use another pc and a penstick

    Re: problem with virtumonde by and k virus problem

    If you connect to the internet via ethernet (rather than USB or wireless) you could try booting into "safe mode with networking". Then launch AVG manually and see if you can update virus library that way.

    Agree with DX; once you're sorted create a non-admin rights account for general day-to-day stuff like surfing.

    Thumbs up Re: problem with virtumonde by and k virus problem

    I had the same problem, but after going round in circles i ended up buying a programme called StopZilla (?20) this swept every bit of junk of my pc including the virtumonde.
