Barton Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 There's a Trojan Virus on my computer, causing some problems that might be getting worse. I have a spyware remover program, paid for it, but its not getting the job done with this problem. 1 of my programs to fight these things is telling me that its a Trojan malware type, with aliases such as: Vundo (McAfee), Trojan.Vundo, TR/Vundo.Gen(Avira), Troj/VirtumGen (Sophos), Trojan: Win32/Vundo.K (Microsoft). Anybody know any kind of solution/programs that I could use, (for free would be nice) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai Jet Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Yikes that sounds nasty Barton. I've never had a virus on my iMac so I haven't a clue. Good luck. Hope it's solved quickly and cheaply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelticwizard Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Some free sites I suggest you join: www.aumha.net www.castlecops.com Both of these places specialize in people with PC's with various problems, especially malware, viruses, etc. The help is friendly and frequently quite detailed, similar to the advice offered by Max, NJ and CTM, except the sites are set up specifically to handle these kinds of problems so there are more people like them around. Both will encourage you to post your HiJack This logs for them to inspect, after you have done the prescribed things beforehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anskyruben Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Google that particular strain of virus. Some of these Trojans won't be detected by common virus programs. I got one a few back and nothing I ran would get rid of it, till I googled it. Someone posted step by step directions on how to eliminate it. Give that a shot.

Chances are, you aren't the first to have this problem and there is a solution when googled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barton Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share Posted November 14, 2008 So I used the program CTM posted and it seems like it got rid of the problem, for the most part. I'm gonna keep fighting it with other programs too. Gonna try and completely get rid of it, as I think i just weakened it alot but didnt completely cut it out. Not sure though. thanks to everyone for helping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always felt Norton was the worst. Might as well keep the viruses, they're going to strain your computer just as much as Norton's software does. Max had a pretty good suggestion. Spybot Search and Destroy works wonders, and it isn't too taxing on the machine. I'd use that coupled with Spyware Doctor to get rid of everything already there and make sure nothing more gets in.
