Please help remove Trojan Vundo H

[joey_bags]

Hello,

My computer was infected with trojan vundo h. I was getting popups, my searches were being redirected, auto update was turned off, applications were not working, etc. I am not sure if I have removed it fully and would really appreciate some assistance. To date this is what I have done after i discovered it. I downloaded and ran malwarebytes multiple times, i ran my mcafee virus scan enterprise 8.0 (handme down) multiple times, and i also turned system restore off/on which seemed to stop it from popping back up on reboot.

also what steps should i take to prevent in the future?

attached are my latest hijackthis (below couldnt attach it) and malwarebytes files before and after deleted.

I really appreciate any help! Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks in advance,

Joe

Hi,

I see you have Viewpoint installed...

Viewpoint Manager is considered as foistware instead of malware since it is installed without users approval but doesn't spy or do anything "bad". This will change from what we know in 2006 read this article: http://www.clickz.com/news/article.php/3561546

I suggest you remove the program now. Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and remove the following programs if present.

• Viewpoint
  
• Viewpoint Manager
  
• Viewpoint Media Player
  

Then,

* Start HijackThis, close all open windows leaving only HijackThis running. Place a check against each of the following:

O20 - AppInit_DLLs: mifiguyi.dll

* Click on Fix Checked when finished and exit HijackThis.

Make sure your Internet Explorer is closed when you click Fix Checked!

Then, please update MalwareBytes, because the databaseversion is outdated.

• Start MalwareBytes and click the Update tab. There click "Check for updates"
  
• Once the updates are downloaded, perform a quick scan again.
  
• The scan may take some time to finish,so please be patient.
  
• When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  
• Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  
• When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart.(See Extra Note)
  
• The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
  
• Copy&Paste the entire report in your next reply along with a fresh HijackThis log, then we'll proceed from there with new steps.
  

Extra Note:

If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove,you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts,click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process,if asked to restart the computer,please do so immediatly.

Hi,

This looks OK again.

How are things now?

[joey_bags]

Everything seems fine. Is it all clear?

I am a little concerned about accessing my online banking, etc. Can you advise if I should take any additional steps to prevent this in the future?

[miekiemoes]

Hi,

The malware you were dealing with didn't steal passwords etc... so you were lucky here.

Please read my Prevention page with lots of info and tips how to prevent this in the future.

And if you want to improve speed/system performance after malware removal, take a look here.

Extra note: Make sure your programs are up to date - because older versions may contain Security Leaks. To find out what programs need to be updated, please run the Secunia Software Inspector Scan.

Happy Surfing again!
