Please download VundoFix.zip to your desktop.
  • Double-click VundoFix.zip and extract it to your C:\ directory.
  • Copy the instructions below and paste them into Notepad for reference.
    • All other windows need to be closed while doing this fix!
  • Navigate to the new folder C:\VundoFix
  • Double click on KillVundo.bat
    • When it starts running it will tell you that you need an active internet connection then ask you to press any key once you do.
  • Please press any key to continue.
  • Wait for HiJackThis to open.
  • When HiJackThis opens, click Do a system scan only. Place a check next to the following items, if found:


    R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing

    O16 - DPF: {1D0D9077-3798-49BB-9058-393499174D5D} - file://c:\counter.cab

    O20 - Winlogon Notify: apcat - C:\WINDOWS\AppPatch\apcat.dll

    O20 - Winlogon Notify: dbplay - C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\dbplay.dll

    O20 - Winlogon Notify: dvddll - C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\dvddll.dll

    O20 - Winlogon Notify: keypc - C:\WINDOWS\Help\Tours\keypc.dll

    O20 - Winlogon Notify: mfcpc - C:\WINDOWS\Help\Tours\mfcpc.dll

    O20 - Winlogon Notify: msc - C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\msc.dll

    O20 - Winlogon Notify: pmnno - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\pmnno.dll

    O20 - Winlogon Notify: unftp - C:\WINDOWS\Help\SBSI\unftp.dll

  • Once they all have a check next to them, click the FIX CHECKED button, then close HiJackThis.
You will once again be prompted to press any key. Upon doing so this time you will receive a "Blue Screen Of Death". Don't worry, this is normal!

Let the computer reboot. If it doesn't boot straight to windows, manually turn the computer off and then back on.

Once the computer is rebooted post a new HiJackThis log as well as the contents of vundofix.txt which can be found in this folder: C:\VundoFix

Log looks free of malware!!!

How's it running? :unsure:

Items you may wish to consider to harden your defenses against future infections:

Read "How did I get infected in the first place?"

Download/install IE-Spyad

IE-Spyad puts over 4000 known malicious web sites into IE's "restricted zone" to help prevent you from getting infected.

Check your browser settings at Qualsys.com

A series of "tests" (and suggested fixes) to help tweak IE's settings to help prevent infections when surfing the web.

Follow safe Internet practices:

1. Keep your virus definitions up to date, and scan your system regularly.

2. Don't open email, or download attachments from unrecognized email addresses.

3. Be careful when downloading email attachments, EVEN FROM PEOPLE YOU KNOW! Many virii, worms, and trojans infect a persons system then immeadiately spread themselves to the people in the infected persons addressbook via email attachments.

4. Be careful downloading files from the Internet. Scan all downloaded files with a reliable UP-TO-DATE antivirus program. Scan "zip" files BEFORE unzipping, and scan all unzipped files BEFORE USING THEM.

5. Keep your Windows and IE current with all the latest patches and updates.

The only thing in the log that is "dubious" is this:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [P2P Networking] C:\WINDOWS\System32\P2P Networking\P2P Networking.exe /AUTOSTART

Although a legitimate program, "peer to peer" sharing usually includes and viruses and trojans as well….

When you "share" files, you take huge risks….

If I were you, I'd uninstall it….

Looks like Hijack This! is what you'll have to use.

Fix this:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [P2P Networking] C:\WINDOWS\System32\P2P Networking\P2P Networking.exe /AUTOSTART

Reboot and delete this folder:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\P2P Networking <– FOLDER

If you get no errors, then you're "good to go".
