Yeah - Thanks, Spybot found 9 infections, all related to Virtumonde.
Microsoft's Malicious Software removal tool removed Trojan Win32/Vundo.gen.H.
Ad-Aware Pro discovered nothing. My virus software eTrust Antivirus
discovered and destroyed 4 Trojans. However, it's downloading updates about
every two days
but can't update it's search engine as it reports 'failed to update to engine
number etc.. My firewall can be easilly breached by GRC's downloadable
LeakTest
but when tested by them with their Shields-Up, my PC is in 100% Stealth mode!
This is all related to my cookie protection being zero. I've tried the
default setting but to no avail. God help my once stable PC! - Andrew
