MBAM can't kill Vundo - suggestions?

e2c · January 2, 2010

Hi,

My netbook (running XP SP 3) was hit with Vundo several days ago. I've run MBAM repeatedly (after following your directions on how to reinstall and re-enable after having Vundo kill it), Spybot S&D (which caught many instances of it), AVG 8 (free), current version of Avira, and current version of Microsoft Security Essentials - all with current definitions, etc.

Together, these programs were able to mostly clear my system, but Vundo has burrowed deep into Google Chrome (current build and version), and pop-up ads and redirects persist. HijackThis logs don't show any instances of Vundo at this point.

I've also run RootRepeal per directions given in other threads.

My current logs:

Any/all help would be greatly appreciated. (I realize it's a holiday weekend and that responses might be slow.) Thanks in advance!
