Reply: (edit)Thanks again. The two tool & fix work and find a lot of files on my computer however I still keep getting reinfected. I am running in safe mode with networking and if I leave my computer on for a few hours the same files are found again and again. Is reformatting my computer my only option?

Reply: (edit)How would you turn off system restore? I've only run the programs in safemode...I've tried 3 tool/fixes now, avg, spybot, adware and a few other...it takes several hours to run them all and by the time I'm finished running them all I'm back to square one...

Reply: (edit)I THINK the system restore shutdown + the xscan worked. Haven't yet tried ascan but I tried trojan hunter a few days ago. I'm not 100% convinced yet...a few times in the past things looked good but then I found virtumondo in spybot again. I'll report back in a while but...so far everything that I run seems to come up clean. :) I'm very grateful for this help!

Reply: (edit)Thanks for posting back! Turn your system restore back on again.....Let's keep our fingers crossed and hopefully all is well. A-sqaured free is a long and tedious scan and trojan hunter....not too sure on that one....LOL. Hopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results as it will help others.

Reply: (edit)Okay...things seem to be better but I found virtumonde once again in spybot just a few minutes ago. :( I'm starting to think it's impossible to get rid of it. I've tried about 12 different programs now. It seems that there are way less problems after running that xscan - at least it can be managed ..I guess I should be hesitant to do online banking and using credit cards until I completely get rid of the problem? Do you think it's safe?

Reply: (edit)What is your AV? Try this, download Avast free http://www.avast.com/eng/download-a...
to your desktop. Disable the AV you are presently using, install Avast and let it do a bootscan on reboot. Move EVERYTHING it finds to the chest and when it is done. run your Spybot scan again and see if the problem still remains. Hopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results as it will help others.

Reply: (edit)I downloaded a-squared & am doing the deep cleaning...the fast one found some things so I'm trying the deep one too - it is vvvvery slow like you said though. It might take all night. "did you try this removal?
http://spyware-removal.thrcomputer.... I think I saw a manual remove similar to this...none of those entries were in my registry or windows. I use AVG antivirus. Will try the one you suggested too. In the past I've had spyware and virus and it has never been a real issue...maybe going into the registry and deleted a few things and running a few scans and presto...but for some reason this virtumonde is sooo difficut to get rid of! I read somewhere that it records keystrokes so I'm thinking it might not be a good idea to sign into places with my passwords. I'm not really sure how they use the info...
