Guest johnmonek Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Dear Community, My laptop is infected with the Vundo.gen!Y virus. Initially there were two files containing this virus: Win32/Vund.D and Vundo.gen!Y. The antivirus software McAffee and MS OneCare were not able to remove them both, only the first one. I performed some research and discovered how to remove the Vundo virus manually. The OneCare safety scanner's report listed the following: Virus and spyware scan: 1 item detected, 1 issue found Registry cleaner scan: 529 invalid items found Disk cleanup scan: 11.2 MB of temporary files found Disk fragmentation scan: 25% fragmented Open ports scan: 0ports open As you can see, it was informative, but not helpful in removing the virus (It listed it as "Unable to clean", and cleaning up my registry. How do I go about cleaning up my registry and remove also the Vundo virus? It is listed as: Trojan:Win:32/Vundo.gen!Y Please help! Thank you and have a Great and Wonderful New Year! Sincerely, John Monek johnmonek@yahoo.com Quote

It is your choice. If you are unsure how to back up your data or how to do a clean install, you can take your machine to a local computer professional. I don't recommend using BigComputerStore/GeekSquad types of places.

You are eligible for such free support by virtue of having used the OneCare Live Safety Scanner. -- Dave M ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dave M's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/dave-m.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/microsoft-security/1097738.htm http://forums.techarena.in Quote
