I got infected with the vundo virus
Sunday, May 18th, 2008I can’t believe it; I got infected with a malware / virus /Trojan / spyware. Even having all the “tools” to prevent these things of happening; I have an Antivirus called nod32, a firewall called Outpost Firewall.
This malicious malware / virus /Trojan / spyware or whatsoever is really annoying, I got all the time pop-ups with ads, normal ads where changed by ads with the message of my pc being infected with spyware. I also got annoying messages trough the netsend service.
After downloading and scanning my pc with “Search & Destroy”, Ad-Aware 2007, Trend Microsystems and online panda, everything with no luck.
I thought that my only solution was to burn my 180 GB HDD into DVD’s; a whole weekend lost trying to remove this annoying virus.
After several hours of late reading and Googleing I found this extremely nice forum ( http://www.atribune.org/forums ), with guys dedicated on helping unknown users with this heavily annoying virus. They also got a tool to fix this problem, even that tool didn’t help me out, but in the forum they sure did help me, step by step they told me what to do and after pasting logs, scanning my pc, I finally removed the malicious malware / virus /Trojan / spyware. I cannot say how great full I am of finding such people online that help others with nothing in return.
Here is the direct link to the topic where they helped me, great group.
