Loose Brass Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Does anyone have any experience with getting rid of the vondo trojan? One of my computers seems to be infected with it. My Norton anti virus picked it up on a scan and said it got rid of it. However I later ran a scan at microsoft onecare and it told me that I still had it and that it could not remove it. I have also tried vondo be gone and vondo fix but neither of them even picked it up. My cpu usage is near 100 percent and I know its not my Norton program hogging the system. I have been using it on both my computers for years without any problems. I also use ad aware and spy bot regularly. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loose Brass Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 Try this>>>>>>>>Superantispyware Scott Thanx Scott! So far the scan is still running and finding all sorts of stuff that ad aware, spybot, and norton have missed including vondo. I will post again and let you know the outcome.

Flexmoney Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I have had a lot of good luck with spyware dr that comes with the google pack I got to digging up ratings on these and that one might have been the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam B Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I manage over 1000 desktops at work so you could imagine all of the crap I run into. I searched for a long time to find something that works the best at getting rid of most of those pests. I usually run a scan with the system restore off, then a scan in safe mode and that will take care of most of the issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speculatorking Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 (edited) I had it. Wicked to remove. Try Fixvundo by Symantic. Just google it and download for free. Edited December 28, 2008 by speculatorking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speculatorking Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Most other anti-virus programs are helpless against vundo. My computer guru used the fixvundo by symantic and tricked it then killed it. I'm not kidding. You couldn't delete this thing but you could change the name of the file so it couldn't find it. Sounds weird but that's how he explained it to me. My PC has been running 100% since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgunz11 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 The solution is Kaspersky. Never get infected and never worry about getting infected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam B Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 really the best option is to run a mac but it will just be a matter of time before they start to get pests and such due to their increased popularity. I wont use windows unless I absolutely have to, which is next to never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waktasz Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Combofix is a tool specifically made to fix this bug. I do like Superantispyware and Spyware Doctor also, but neither will remove Vundo on their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwit Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Last time I got it, I tried that "Blue Ointment", couple of days it was good as new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Front Man Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 (edited) It sounds to me that maybe some of it is left in your registry if it is still running "funny". I a nasty Trojan last October and had to have our tech people remove keys that were left; it did a good job of hidding.
