Virtumondo Adware

[eric]

I Have run MS AntiSpyware several times to remove
Virtumondo without success. Any suggestion on how to get
rid of it for good?

Hi Eric et.al.
Sorry to have to send you to another forum but there is a lengthy discussion
and repair strategy to be found at:
microsoft.private.security.spyware.announcements
entitled "virtumondo adware - does this info help?"

Also give MSAS cousin a try:

In Microsoft AntiSpyware, from the Tools Menu, send in a
suspected spyware report. If you have an AntiVirus
utility installed, update with latest definitions and do
a full system scan.

Get HijackThis.exe from
http://tomcoyote.org/hjt/hjt199//HijackThis.exe

Save it to C:\hjt (new folder) then Open it and select
Scan and Save Log. Note where you saved the log then
send it to me as an attachment. Put Hijack in the
subject so I'll know it's not spam.

Alternatively you can post it on the Dell Forum at:

board.id=si_hijack

(if it wraps you can go to:

http://tinyurl.com/ckuzq instead.)

Put Ron in the subject so I will see it. You do not need
to have a Dell to post but you will need to register.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the response, can you give me more information
on this site? I can't find it.

Thanks,
Eric

Sure Eric;
Sorry, I made the assumption you approached it from the MSAS Beta newsgroup
index:
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?ICP=spyware
just click Announcements when that page comes up... but what it boils down
is that removal instructions are located at this site (I can't make this
long one a complete link)...
