What type of PC you got?

I would just suggest a full restore before trying to reinstall.

Go to http://www.download.com. Download and install two programs:

Security Task Manager 1.7g and Unlocker 1.8.7

Run Security Task Manager first. It will catagorize all running files by a threat rating. Google any files before removing them to make sure the file is actually a virus, not a vital system process. To remove a file, select it, click remove, select the 'Move File to Quarantine' option and UNCHECK 'Create Restore Point'

This should get rid of most items. Anything else that you can't get rid of, make a note of the location.

Install Unlocker (make sure to uncheck the options you don't want to install, like eBay toolbar). Find the files that couldn't be removed earlier, right click them, and select Unlocker. Choose the Delete option from the dropdown menu and select Unlock. You may get a bluescreen after the file is forcefully deleted, just turn your computer off and back on if you do. This works for me in most cases, screw antivirus and scanning tools. They don't work very well.

Ever tried that on one of these before?

I am only asking because in my case I even did the step by step with smitfraudfix and the trojan still respawned.

Yes, I use them all the time. I'm an IT Guy and these are my fave's. I find I can remove the virus manually much quicker than running 10 different scanning engines. Another option is to take the hard drive out, install it in a different machine as a slave, then delete the files on that disk from the other machine (because the files won't be locked anymore) or run a full virus scan on the slaved drive. Just don't accidentally double-click on an infected file instead of deleting it, then you'll have two infected computers!

Reformatting works pretty well, too.

I usually take the easy road, F10 when I start up my PC, then destructive restore to factory default.

That is the beauty of not really using a PC for anything but internet.

Reformatting is my friend.

using Malwarebyte's anti malware now. Hope this works....

 

 

If it does change your VGChartz Password before the person who gave you Virtumonde hacks your account.
