Virtumonde is a prick of a thing. I used a combination of Spybot, Avast, Virtumondobegone, VundoFix and tools from MalwareBytes (http://www.malwarebytes.org/) to rid my kid's pc of it. It seemed to be gone then a few minutes later things would slow down again (you'd notice menus opening slowly and sluggish performance). Using Safe Mode without net access helped to clear it out.
I'd recommend Avast as a better AV than AVG too. AVG seems to have become bloated and less useful than it used to be.
Glad you got it cleaned up.
I wish ! Thought i had deleted it yesterday but All sorts of system changes going on here , random startups in the middle of shit grrrrrrr Running scans constantly to delete the spyware its bringing in. And spybot caught virtumonde again last night so it cant be being deleted !
Avg picked up 7 threats in its overnight scheduled scan , all downloader agents and healed em , doing another spybot now as my screensaver has come up with a bloody great Warning again (well thats been coming up since i first got the thing !
I know i should cut the nett off but that be like steeling a babies pacifier !
Edit : well thats a bling to you Matt !
Just downloaded malwarebytes and ran it straight after spybot picked up a virtumonde trojan again .
32 infections it found and cleaned, 22 regestry keys infected, 1 folder, 5 files and 4 more trojans, couple of them being virtumonde !
That virtumonde is a bastard cause it copies itself through yr system grrrr fingers crossed i got it this time !
More fun than a merry go round !
A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"
Bowls can wait !
