Something weird happened last week. I left my laptop on during the day
while I was at work and when I got home I had some 30 IE windows
opened and a nice set of trojans to go with it.
I don't use IE regularly. I use Firefox or Mozilla Seamonkey.
Well....I had some 5 types of trojans and did some searching for what
I should do.
Prior to this surge I had McAfee Internet Suite, Ad-Aware and
ZoneAlarm. All up-to-date definitions and still McAfee didn't catch
it.
So then I downloaded the programs I got reommendations for:
I got the vundofix program, superantispyware, avg and spybot. Updated
them all and ran them on safe mode.....still didn't clean them.
I then found out about disabling the windows system restore. So I
disabled it and ran all the programs again and they caught a few and
cleaned it. After I reboot I rescanned and they again found the same
items.
Why do they keep coming back? I haven't used the computer for anything
since.
Not one single browsing. Not one single email received. Nothing.
But still the items found are found again after every single reboot
and scan.
Right now I have Virtumonde and Adware.Vundo Variant being caught by
both Spybot and SuperAntiSpyware.
What can I do to rid my computer from these trojans?
Thanks in advance,
