Found the problem?

It seems we are dealing with a new strain of the Vundo trojan - Norton seems to be unable to remove it. It recognizes it - removes it - however it seems to return.

The solution that worked for me:

Disable your system restore so your computer cannot restore the file.

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.

You might have to run Vundo several times to remove it completely.

Then restore your 'system restore function' run a virus scan and spybot program.

Seems to have worked for me.

Question remains how the heck did I get this little beasty on my computer since all MP3's are scanned with an updated virus checker?

Thanks for the info Where did you get that advice from?

I don't know how those files got past your scan, maybe it's just such a new trojan that some AV programs don't have it within their virus definitions yet.??

Can you remember anything that stood out about the files that you were downloading before you got infected (don't mention artist or file titles)? Just so other people might know what to avoid.

OMG!! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP MEEE!!

i have the exact same problem as all of you!!! but i'm not very technical so i don't really understand all of this stuff. can you please explain it to me step by step what do to? i've been struggling with these problems for almost a month now and it's driving me crazy!!

so first of all how do i solve the limewire-popping-up problem?
do i use the BFU and then do system restore??

secondly, is the solution quoted above the solution to the "user\name\'\" folder problem?
if so, how do you disable the system restore? (i use windows vista, not sure if that even matters)
also, do you restore the system restore function the same way you disabled it?
and for the next step, "run a virus scan and spybot program", can i just use trend micro to scan or is there a specifc program i should use? i have the latest version of trend micro internet security and i would really prefer not to have to download something else.

and what is the that thing you guys did with the command prompt? i never really use the command prompt thing so i don't really understand what you guys were saying about how to delete the files in the ' folder. can someome tell me step by step what to type in the command prompt?

yeah, so if you have not already realized, i'm quite desparate. i'm so sick of this stupid malware problem so please please please help!!

thanks in advance for any advice!
