New Old Vicious Malware is back

[iamskippy]

Well my friend, you didnt clean it correctly, these things love to live in old system retore files,also you didnt update everything correctly, after you where done cleaning.

you can try a few different programs in safe modem admin, there is one that escapes, it fix's whats know as the vundo or vundu virus. But down load combo fix and run it in safe mode.

John might chime in on the name of the vundu softwar, and i know its listed in another virus post by someoene else

Combo fix?

On XP? Yes. Make sure you have a complete system backup of data files, scanned because you may need them.

Half the time when a system is at the point you list, the wise choice is to wipe and reload. You can sometimes get away with reinstalling over / repairing XP.

No it's Windows Vista....once I get to a point where I can back up her files, I will do that.....then do a complete reformat.

Ok, I looked up the Combo Fix for Vista. I will try it.....but I am afraid I could screw something up by deleting something I am not supposed to. I will run it and then do a search on what it comes up with and suggests to delete.

For Vista - I would not think twice - backup all data and verify access to the apps (Use Belarc Advisor for M$ serial numbers). Tripple check backup and wipe and reload. A clean Vista install, patched with SP2, and then install the apps will work much better than trying to fix. Still not as good as XP or 7, but better.

This is completely agree with! Vista = Windows ME = Windows 8

just like 98 se = XP = 7 = ?

damn i will even toss NT4 6 pack = 98 se = XP = 7 = ?

a fresh vista install is always better, then a fixed one, just like windows ME it was never the same. however there is a chance to save it, just slightly slimmer then me.


John that Vundo software i was reffering to is here, but there is one more and its driving me insane.
