My home PC (Compaq Presario notebook - Windows XP SP 1) was infected with trojan.vundo, following the instructions from Norton Anti-Virus Website (my so called anti-virus software) I downloaded a tool, and tried to re-boot in safe mode to complete the fix. My computer refused to completely start in safe mode, so there were no icons, no way to get to task manager or CLP. Next I attempted a Windows XP Restore using the CD that came with my PC (the PC is only 1 year old), it runs through the restore, but when it tries to reboot to complete the restore process, it boots in safe mode with no icons, task manager, CLP and says it cannot complete the restore in safe mode, it re-boots and begins the horrible cycle all over again....is there anything else I can do short of sending it back to Compaq???

Hi libscopsdups! Welcome to G2G!

First thing I would you to do is download VundoFix and save it to a floppy disk. Then I want you to boot up the infected computer and once there, hit CTRL+ALT+DEL to bring up the Task Manager, then I want you to click FILE and then NEW TASK (RUN) and type in: a:\VundoFix.exe.

Post back if you are/aren't able to do this and how things are going after being able to run it.

I tried to boot and then hit ctrl/alt/del (which normally takes you to task manager) gets no reponse...literally I cannot do anything but boot/re-boot, the safe mode screen that comes up is totally blank....I have tried to chose another method to boot (ie Normal or Safe Mode with CLP) and it only starts in the safe mode that is a blank screen....Maybe I need to send it back to Compaq...I wish I didn't have to lose all of my data.

Go to the Malware fourm! You have malware and they can fix it. They see things like this all the time.

Please read my other post again and do what it said.
