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 save the contents of C:\vundofix.txt in case the infection is not removed, it will need to be posted with your HijackThis log in the malware forum.
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 upon rebooting.
If the infection(s) are still present, please post the contents of C:\vundofix.txt and a HiJackThis log in the Malware Removal Forum.

Alternate fix: (use only if the above fix didn't work) 1) Download VirtumundoBegone 2) Save VirtumundoBeGone.exe to your desktop. 3) Run VirtumundoBeGone.exe and follow the instructions. Do not worry if you see a BLUE SCREEN "Fatal Error" Message, this is normal and expected. 4) When it has finished, reboot.
It will create a log on your desktop called VBG.TXT, if the infection is still present, post this log and a HiJackThis log in the Malware Removal Forum.

I think I have the WinAntiVirus virus. I looked it up on wikipedia and said its similar to winfixer. I ran a Vundo Removal software and it didn't detect it. I've ran numerous antivirus scans and it still does not go away! I just have new infections that pop up. I need help please!!! And I'm new to this, so I'm not sure what you guys mean when you say HiJack This. And I saw on one forum to mess with my regedit-- but that seems risky!

Hey guys,
After I ran this fix, it got rid of the VirtuMode virus which caused all my problems to go away.....but now, when I start my computer, I get a pop up error that says can't find c\windows\system32\scttwewc.dll
Is this a whole new problem I have or do you think this is related to the virus I had. It looks suspiciously like some of the files that my Symantec was quaratining related to the VirtuMode thing.

I just registered as a new member to Geeks to Go.
I have what I believe is the Virtumonde Malware. As a new member I started to follow the instructions as outlined under the self-help removal guides for "How-to remove WInfixer, Virtumonde, Msevens, ...". Everything was going well until I came to the section that had me reboot my notebook into SafeMode and start a scan using AVG anti-spyware. The program shows that it have 5 objects. I then try to "Apply all Actions" as instructed but receive an error message on the right side of the window which reads, "Errors have been occurred while applying the actions, please inspect the list on the left." When I review each line item the Action column reads "Error while quarantining", for one of the five items. The other 4 items show "Error while deleting!". I have tried this twice with the same results. Could I have a bad copy of the AVG Anti-Spware? Should I try to reinstall AVG and re-run the scan?

Hello, I believe I have Virtumonde on my computer. I tried Vundofix and Virtumundobegone. And I also used Norton 2008, SpySweeper, and Ad-Aware. And nothing has removed it. Spysweeper detects Adware: Virtumonde but can't remove it. I also found these and I think they are related to the problem: awtqn.dll and gebayyw.dll If you could help me I'd really appreciate it. Thanks
