Hello and welcome to the WhatTheTech Forum's.

For use on Windows 2000 / XP systems ONLY!!


Use at your own risk: WhatTheTech forum, does not take responsibility for any outcome of following these directions. Every computer is different, so we cannot guarante the outcome. If you are apprehensive, please post a log from HijackThis in the designated forum and let us take a look and guide you to a clean system.



Self Help Removing: Winfixer / Msevents


Keep in mind this infection can be accompanied by other infections as well. We strongly suggest you register after running this fix and posting a HijackThis log for one of the pro's to check over.

Note: The entries shown below may have different file names. You will though, have a 02 entry, that may contain the word "MSEvents" or "ATLDistrib Object" or ADOUsefulNet Object and a 020 entry that has the same file name


Samples:

Newer Vundo infections can aslo look like this with a matching 02 / 020

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {FD2A7D3A-3DA1-4CA5-AD39-B4C3A72B567F} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\ljjiifd.dll
O20 - Winlogon Notify: ljjiifd - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ljjiifd.dll

Another new one is NO 02's and NO 020's.

    After Vundo is removed, delete the C:\VundoFix Backups-folder since it contains the backups of the malware related files that were deleted.
