Just recently i became infected with the trojan horse virus and it has completely taken over. it stops updates from AVG it blocks selected websites ( housecall.trendmicro.com and other virus detecting ones) it pops up websites frequently and i cant click on a website on google without it taking the page to another site. I have tried many things including safe mode and turning off system restore scanning and turning it off but nothing will rid it. i have AVG, adaware, and just recently installed SpywareDoctor( it wont let me acivate spywaredoctor saying that there is no connection to the internet. When i scan Spywaredoctor i find 2 infections most of the time, TROJAN.VIRTUMONDE( 36 infections) and TROJAN-DOWNLOADER.AGENT.OGP(1 infection) I'm lost and don't know what to do next. if anyone could please help i would be very appreciative. Thank you.
Bump up - anyone have any idea what I can do? please if anyone has any clue of what to do. im desperate Last edited by kimsland; 01-11-2009 at 03:22 AM.. Reason: merged 3 posts |

Remove (fully un-install) AVG
Then follow this after restart (note: Avira Antivirus is far better) UPDATED 8-step Viruses/Spyware/Malware Preliminary Removal Instructions |

Thanks Nolanhasatrojan, you did really well
But I've noticed that your Malwarebytes scan has found (and removed) one of the most amounts of Malwares I've seen here ! Here's the only and best next step Re-Open Malwarebytes Select the Update tab (you will see this up the top of the Malwarebytes window) Then check for any new updates (this is really just in case, they just updated it) Then select the first tab, and run another (another?) Yes another, full scan It will definitely find more Malwares for you to then select to remove again. Please do this, for your sake ! Edit: Oh dear, I thought I'd check your HJT log. ![]() When you have the chance, uninstall: Ad-Aware Symantec (Norton) AVG8 Spyware Doctor Wow this entry in HJT is pretty bad too, but I really don't want to check it like this Quote:
By the way, once all these programs (above) are un-installed, you will need to run your third scan of Malwarebytes (updated of course )If you want it fixed (I'll assume yes!) |

Sorry for the delay.
Yes good idea Otherwise you may be looking at quite a few posts to and fro until it's clean.Once you have your 1 single antivirus updated and protecting, then return your backups. Some report that this process (a clean install) may take hours to fully complete (ie updates, and re-installing programs etc etc) But in actual fact, I'm pretty sure, in your case, it'll run better for it |

Download Combofix and run in safe mode... Post the log here so I can see it. It's rather obvious that pimping one piece of software over half a dozen others isn't resolving your issue.
There's no need to reformat. We just clean it up....if it's done right. |

D'oh.. missed the date.. Unfortunately it looks like it wasn't resolved.. It ended up in a reformat. Too bad.
Oh well. Can't win 'em all. ![]() |
