In heaven, all the interesting people are missing. |
A couple of days ago (2 days to be exact) my sister came and told me that our laptop have been infected by a virus. I did a scan with NOD32 and found this pesky virus that it tried to put into quarantine but each time it did the virus mysteriously came back. I then downloaded Spybot - Search & Destroy and Ad-aware and did a scan with those two. Spybot found loads of shit on it (one of them was Virtumonde) and I then deleted everything it found. Afterwards I did a new search, just to be sure, and then there still were a virus left called "Virtumonde". |

Cynical? Me? Never. |
Here's what I would do: First go to - housecall.trendmicro.com/ Run the scanner. This may take several hours. If that doesn't work - restart your computer into safe mode(google it if you don't know how). Then run all those programs you mentioned and restart. The problem with those types of viruses are that they are in your boot memory, which is protected for some reason, so its never truly deleted. Safemode doesn't use boot memory, so there you can truly get rid of it. |

English is your second language? You apparently speak it better than 99% of the people who have ever gone on the internet.
If it were me I would go through the registry. The scans you have been doing haven't been effective because they miss something important that keep spawning these things, most likely a downloader. (a malware that just downloads other malware. Until you get rid of whatever is doing this it won't stop. Start with Virtumonde and search through the registry and delete anything that refrences it. |
