hey fellas need some help.

Turns out my pc has no become infected with some malware.Unsure where it came from, and even how it managed to get on my pc considering that i have Spybot s&D, Ad-Aware and NOD32 running. Anyway its called Vitumonde.dll and i'm having problems removing it.
I'v run all 3 above, Trends Housecall, Ewido AVG, Kaperskys online checker, stinger and i've done what i can in safe mode (deleted the infected iles and removed some registry entries etc) every check says reved or fixed, until i reboot the pc and it becomes re-infected.
I have tried to google this one nd just cannot seem to find a good bit f advice on how to get rid of this apart from what i have done. So any suggestions? have i missed something??

Its getting really annoying as it runs another instance of IE when i run IE, sending me to pages of Ads. I want tmake sure i have tried everything before the last resort of reformatting and re-installing all (wont use system restore as i know this gets infected too)

By googling your problem i found THIS
Or try THIS
It may just be a case of working through the list until you find something that works!

 

ComboFix may be worth a look also - I haven't researched your particular problem, but I've used it on a few computers and it always does well.

Twizzle, you can try counterspy and see if it works it is what mary and I use. They have a 15 day free trial. Adware, counter spy, just don't keep their stuff up todate well enough anymore.

 

Mr Nerdy, thanks for the googles but i've already tried the first one and that didnt work. Hijackthis listed some processes that i removed but to no avail.
Derkit, tired Combofix but now my pc wont boot either to safe mode or normal windows, and at the mo i cant even find my xp disk!!

Bugger it all, will have to formt and start again! ( well there goes the bathroom tilling this weekend and i was so looking forward to doing that!!! ;) )

 

I've had some pretty bad malware last week called virusheat and no anti-spyware/malware helped except for this app.

 

Well just spent the last hour or so re-installing windows. Had to wipe the exisiting install but fortunatley not teh whole drive. Now i'm just running the Profs app to see if that finds anything.
What surprises me is that NOD didnt remove it and thats sposed to be one of the best, neither did Trend or AVG.
malware and Viruses are just getting too good these days!

 

The reason that NOD and AVG and other similar programs didnt remove it is that it's not a virus as such. it is addware, something that you have infected your computer with by using Internet Explorer and have most likely inadvertantly, agreed to the installation thereof.

Foor goodly sake, now your PC is clean again, the best protection against these nasties is to not use IE.. Use Fx or Opera for your usual day to day browsing. It is the Active X controls built into IE, mainly for the purposes of Windows update that these malware writers exploit in order to get their crap into your system. Only use IE on sites you need to and *trust*, ie some banks and Microsoft etc.
