my anti-virus program detected a virus called win32/adware.virtumonde.o application. which is located in vturs.dll
It told me it will deleted after restarting but everytime I restarted my pc, it pops up again. I tried deleting it in safe mode but when I go back to normal mode, the antivirus window pops up again with the same virus.

Hey skinnyazn,

This trojan you have is also called the Trojan Vundo... It can be removed by using Webroots SpySweeper... First try running a scan using this software and see if it helped... If it did not help then follow the instructions you have in the following link:

Let us know if it helped,

Good luck,
Nick

Windows is not a Virus. Viruses actually DO something, where as Windows Do Nothing.
