I am running into serious problems with Virtumonde.

I have run Ad/aware and Spybot. They both keep removing it but it keeps showing up along with a lot of I suspect related spyware.

I've run McAfee Anti-Virus and it showed nothing. I ran Windows Defender and it showed nothing.

Ran Vundofix and it showed it removed it all but then when I re-ran it is was back there.

Also ran Virtumundobe gone is safe mode and it showed nothing but then I started getting this error message;

RUNDLL Error loading

c:windows/system32/xrpdnthm.dll

Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

I am using Mozilla firefox as a browser, another family member uses Explorer for MSN instant messaging.

There are some good free cleaners in the red link. I would suggest running those.

You may have to turn off system restore because baddies love hiding in there and will resurface if it is not turned off before scanning.

McAfee Anti-Virus and Norton are pretty much resource hogs and don't do a very good job.

You can D/L avast free to your desktop and install it and let it run a bootscan on reboot. See how much stuff McAfee has missed.
After the reboot, be sure to disable avast in msconfig, because 2 AV's cannot run at the same time.
