I FINALLY got rid of virtumonde with Spysweeper. Finally killed Virtumonde!! and removed it, no more annoying IE pages opening randomly. (I’ll give it a few days to make sure) This creepy thing disabled Spybot search and destroy’s ability to remove it as well as AVG. they could identify it , quarantine it , and then it was BAAAAck. I couln’t install Mcaffee either, and norton didn’t detect it. So I am now using AVG in combo with Spy Sweeper by Webroot, and I am going toB Beta demo their virus software as well. I have used Norton for years, and was disappointed that Virtu managed to disable it, which let other viruses in as well. Thanks for this site. I found it on google, just to see how others were doing with this thing, once I had identified it.

HEy, lets put up a price on the criminal’s heads who make Virtumonde (the legal way). Some techi geeks may turn them in or hunt them down. Also, some of them may decide to stop writing them if it gets too dangerous. Maybe they go back to video games. Nothin’ wrong with video games! How about $5,000? I think we’d hv to talk to some police about the whole process. If 1 hundred of us put up $50 we can do it. It would hv to be placed in n escrow account for group control. I’ll check on the details like how much time they would get, etc. Time by the way, AWAY from their computer. They’d go mad. THey wouldn’t know WHAT to do. That and the prison food, attitude, and the views may not be so inviting.

Thanks for the tutorial!!! Time will tell, but if these fixes work I would like to donate to whoever posted this. I prefer not to invest in software, as it continually changes and I end up with multiple outdated tools fighting for the same resources–I’d rather run a tight system and fix issues as they arise. If you could supply me with a paypal address for donations, I’d appreciate it. Again, thanks for all the good work!

I work with virutmonde every day and many different varieties of it. Everything from the easy to remove kind with removal programs, some that associate with installed programs(xpAntivirus, winfixer, etc) , and the worst that recreate them selves into personal settings, system rundll files and, chkdsk check sum. Every time I think I’ve got it figured out it comes back. The latest and most difficult is the check sum and I am currently working on it. I have yet to find one solid guarantee technique to work on all versions. I will repost after I try this technique on all versions I run accross.

I went for the manual removal after having Spybot do a search. I found a virtumonde .dll file but when I type in - regsvr32/u byXOijih.dll I get the message “byXOijih.dll was loaded, but the DllUnregisterServer entry point was not found. This file can not be registered”. And so it lingers

I have Virtumonde. I run Spybot daily. It finds Virtumonde and I tell it to remove it. If I rerun the scan immediately it is not there, but if I do anything else it comes back. I have also run the Symantec Virtumonde removal tool (before removing it with Spybot) and it says that my computer is not infected. I also run Adaware, but I’m not sure it finds it. My symptom is excessive popups, which have made Netscape Navigator unusable. I’ve switched to Firefox, which is much better, but still has occasional problems. My problems seem to be the same as Nick in the previous response.

Ha ! I did a full format and somehow virtumonde survived. But I did not clean some of the old files. Maybe I should try it again.

I’ve been using Norton, Ad-Aware, and Spybot, and the only one that actually catches VirtuMonde is Spybot. But the problem is, after I remove it using spybot, when I run a scan, it still says it’s there. Am I just getting re-infected with it between when I remove it and when I scan for it? If so it’s strange that I’m so vulnerable even though I have firewall and Norton Auto-Protect on, and I’m wondering if there’s a way to prevent myself from getting infected again?
