Virtumonde infection on WinXPsp3

by jdclyde . Updated 16 years, 9 months ago

Working on an HP pavilion laptop that was infected and running slow.

After running through the normal checks, I have only one infection left, Virtumonde.

System Restore is off.

Only S&D finds it, and only in safe mode. It removes it, but is right back after a reboot.

The infection has disabled AVG. I uninstalled, reinstalled and ran scans. It found nothing, and then was disabled again.

Lavasoft AdAware was listed in a google search of being able to remove this, but nothing.

Webroot spy sweeper, no deals.

Spyware blaster, no deals.

A writeup on symantecs site was of zero help as I went through the registry to find the entries.

Has anyone dealt with this infection?
