Anybody else had this B*ST**D stuck on the comp with that stupid icon in your system tray that pops up a bubble every 5 minutes warning of spyware:mad: i've got rid of it all now but what a pain that was:mad:

Might be a good time to consider banging an anti-virus/anti-spyware on your PC - even one of the free ones? :huh:

I got the free spybot search & destroy and also free spyware blaster and i think it was the spybot that got rid of it,but i still kept getting that annoying little pop up in my system tray:mad: stopped now though

I would download AVG AS - http://free.grisoft.com/doc/download-free-anti-spyware/us/frt/0

You can try it free for 30 days when it reverts to reactive not proactive.

Install, update and then boot to safe made and run. Just to make sure you have got rid of this Zlob infection

Please download VundoFix.exe to your desktop.

• Double-click VundoFix.exe to run it.
• Click the Scan for Vundo button.
• Once it's done scanning, click the Remove Vundo button.
• You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files, click YES
• Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo.
• When completed, it will prompt that it will reboot your computer, click OK.
• Please post the contents of C:\vundofix.txt and a new HiJackThis log.

Note: It is possible that VundoFix encountered a file it could not remove.
In this case, VundoFix will run on reboot, simply follow the above instructions starting from "Click the Scan for Vundo button." when VundoFix appears at reboot.

Thanks for your advice queensway boy, I downloaded Skybot Search & Destroy and ran it about 3 or 4 times and on each occassion it seemed to get rid of it a bit at a time. Don't seem to be having any problems at the minute. :j
