VundoFix Description:
The Bug has been fixed and VundoFix is once again publicly available. Thanks to Subs, Marcin and everyone else who helped in resolving this issue.
VundoFix is a freeware removal tool for many of the known variants of Trojan.Vundo, Trojan.Conhook and other similar infections.
I’ve been working on this tool for nearly 2 years constantly updating and improving the way it detects and removes the vundo infection.
Generally an updated version is released once a week and in some special cases sometimes 2 or 3 times in a week. The tool has had great success removing the infection from over 1 million computers to date and I hope to continue with that same success into the future.
One of the main install vectors for Vundo that we have found is through Java exploits in older versions of Java. Be sure to keep Java updated and remove older versions after updating. Java updates are available from Sun MicroSystems from here. Old versions of Java can be safely removed through Add or Remove Programs in Windows.
Another good idea is to install all Windows Critical Updates. We have seen many variants of Vundo installed through IRC bots that use flaws in the Windows Operating System.
Signs of infection:
Usually when infected with Vundo the user is bombarded with popups for WinFixer, Amaena, WinAntiVirus, ErrorSafe, SystemDoctor and DriveCleaner. Downloading and running these Fraudware applications will result in a fake scan telling you that you are infected with malware then telling you that you need to buy their program to remove the malware that it found. DO NOT BUY THESE PROGRAMS. They are scams and will not remove anything but could possibly make your infection worse.
A slowdown in PC performance may also be noticed when Vundo is running as well as the possibility of random BSOD’s.
Normal Usage for Removal:
- Double-click VundoFix.exe to run it.
- When VundoFix opens, click the Scan for Vundo button.
- Once it’s done scanning, click the Remove Vundo button.
- You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files, click YES
- Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo.
- When completed, it will prompt that it will reboot your computer, click OK.
*****Note: It is possible that VundoFix encountered a file it could not remove.*****
In this case, VundoFix will attempt run on reboot, simply follow the above instructions starting from “Click
the Scan for Vundo button.” when VundoFix appears at reboot.
If you encounter a variant of Vundo that VundoFix does not detect or cannot remove please let us know on our forum located at http://www.atribune.org/forums/ in the HijackThis and Malware Removal section. The forum staff is always happy to help with removal of Vundo and other malware as well.
If VundoFix gives an runtime error on startup you are most likely missing the file: comdlg32.ocx A new copy and instructions on where to put it can be found HERE
Donations:
If VundoFix has helped you remove this infection please donate to help me keep developing this tool. Updating and modifying the tool is very time consuming and every dollar I receive in donations helps to keep the tools and the help site free for users like yourself.
Donations can be made via PayPal here
