I have a piece of adware that I am clueless on how to remove so my virus scan software will finally stop flashing me with pop-up warnings more times than mass hysterics at a nudist camp. Please see my sad tale below:

Subject: Request for Agent Assistance
Submitted from McAfee Online Help Site
Case ID: 16544028
Product: VirusScan10
Version:
Description: I have a PUP that cannot be removed. It's called Adware--virtumundo.
It resides in: C:\WINDOWS\system32\mljji.dll. I want it gone please.
Kindly use this information as a report of the Adware as well.
Operating System: XP Pro
Browser Type: Internet Explorer
Country: USA
Troubleshooting: I first tried using the McAfee/Dell security suite which includes
virusscan 10 which detected this unwelcome guest software (Thanks good job). McAfee
is not capable of removing it. Next I installed spyware doctor which could not
even detect Adware-Virtumundo. Lastly, I bought and installed Spyware Cleaner that
dectected Adware-Virtumundo and 86 (!!) other pieces of spyware but still could
not remove Adware-Virtumundo. Please Help Me.
Thanks for listening to yet another whining lost Coyote Puppy (pardon the pun). Please Help me.
Gratefully,
Secretroad
