Hi,

Here is a HijackThis log file. This computer runs slowly, won't allow me to boot into safe mode and is hitting the disk almost constantly which is a huge improvement over what it was doing before I ran other spyware utilities.

I have run AdAware, Spybot and Windows defender and turned off the processes and removed registry entries of items that look suspicious but they keep coming back (i.e. xxyvu.dll) .

I also have a Virus that Norton identifies as Virtumonde but it doesn't remove it. It is not Adware.VirtuMonde, just plain Virtumonde.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi ralpert and welcome to TomCoyote's forums :wavey:

I am currently looking over your log. As I am an Undergraduate, everything that I post to you must be checked by an Admin or Moderator. Thus, there may be a tiny bit of a delay between posts, but it shouldn't be too long. I will post back shortly with a potential fix.

Thanks for your patience!

HJT in it's own folder
————————

Please put your HijackThis in it's own folder, (I create a new folder in C:\ named HJT).
You can do a Right Click on any open area on the desktop, New> Folder, then rename the folder HJT.

Go to where your HijackThis is (C:\Documents and Settings\Carli Parisella\Desktop -folder) and Right Click on HijackThis.exe, select Cut, then open the new folder you just created (HJT) Right Click in the folder and select paste.

The reason we do this is Hijackthis creates backup files just in case you'd need to restore one and we'll be cleaning out the temp files.


Please download VundoFix.exe to your desktop.
  • Double-click VundoFix.exe to run it.
  • Click the Scan for Vundo button.
  • Once it's done scanning, click the Remove Vundo button.
  • You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files, click YES
  • Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo.
  • When completed, it will prompt that it will reboot your computer, click OK.
  • Please post the contents of C:\vundofix.txt and a new HiJackThis log.
Note: It is possible that VundoFix encountered a file it could not remove.
In this case, VundoFix will run on reboot, simply follow the above instructions starting from "Click the Scan for Vundo button." when VundoFix appears at reboot.
