Vundo and virtumondo and all variants are a b'stard to get rid of, superantispyware is good at getting rid, make sure you update before you do a full scan, takes ages.

Try this as well http://vundofix.atribune.org/

Run superantispyware, ( update 1st) there may be references to vundo in the registry, or in a system restore point.

It may also be worth you running it while in safe mode.
