Hello all. I downloaded a bunch of stuff today so I'm not sure what did it but usually I don't get hit with this kind of stuff :) Oh well. Even trusted sources can fail.

Anyway this is the message that pops up when you have AV installed (I didn't at the time DOH!) so this isn't my machine, it was someone elses who tested the file for me.

I am operating Windows XP SP3 updated as far as Windows Updates will go.

It seems this Virtumonde is one of those viruses that generate random names for the DLLs so they are hard to spot.

Symptoms When I open folders it takes longer to load the contents of them than usual and dragging windows leaves trails behind that take a bit to clear. The computer is now just running slow in general. I use to be able to do things while my computer is running intensive processes since I'm on quad core w/ 4 gigs of ram, but now I can't.

Here is my HiJack this log file. I can obviously see its still there and I'm not sure how to get rid of this.

I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get this fixed because this is a new install of XP and I just got done installing and updating all my programs!

Let me know if theres more information you need!

EDIT: I did some research and found this http://www.symantec....-120914-4108-99 It appears a VERY recent version of Vundo is out there causing havoc. This may be why Vundofix hasn't found anything for me yet.

EDIT2: After a lot more scanning VundoFix found 2 infected files. There is one more that shows up in HijackThis ( O2 - BHO: (no name) - {8D2860D3-B472-434F-8CF6-79613BBF2A54} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\juwefisi.dll) which VundoFix seems to have missed. Will remove the 2 it found for now.

EDIT3: Removed those files. Still slow and its obviously not gone. New HiJackThis log http://pastebin.com/m34f696d7

Hey muffins,

Below I have included a number of recommendations for how to protect your computer against malware infections.

* Keep Windows updated by regularly checking their website at :
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer.

* To reduce re-infection for malware in the future, I strongly recommend installing these free programs:

SpywareBlaster protects against bad ActiveX
IE-SPYAD puts over 5000 sites in your restricted zone so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all
Have a look at this tutorial for IE-Spyad here

* SpywareGuard offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts. Make sure you are only running one real-time anti-spyware protection program or there will be a conflict.

* You should also have a good firewall. Here are 3 free ones available for personal use:

It is critical to have only ONE firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated.

Make Internet Explorer more secure
  • Click Start > Run
  • Type Inetcpl.cpl & click OK
  • Click on the Security tab
  • Click Reset all zones to default level
  • Make sure the Internet Zone is selected & Click Custom level
  • In the ActiveX section, set the first two options ("Download signed and unsigned ActiveX controls) to "Prompt", and ("Initialize and Script ActiveX controls not marked as safe") to "Disable".
  • Next Click OK, then Apply button and then OK to exit the Internet Properties page.

* MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well known ad sites and other bad sites. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer, meaning it will be difficult to infect yourself in the future.

* Please consider using an alternate browser. Mozilla's Firefox browser is fantastic; it is much more
secure than Internet Explorer, immune to almost all known browser hijackers, and also has the best built-in pop up
blocker (as an added benefit!) that I have ever seen. If you are interested, Firefox may be downloaded from
Here

* Take a good look at the following suggestions for malware prevention by reading Tony Klein’s article 'How Did I Get Infected In The First Place'
Here
