I recently caught a type of Trojan called a Vundo. I haven't actually gotten any of the symptoms from it, since my antivirus (AVG) keeps catching and deleting the file before it can cause any damage, but it keeps trying to infect my computer every hour or so. It's getting annoying. Anyone know a way to make it stop?
There is a thing called VundoFix, made just for getting rid of this type of Trojan, but it didn't work for me.
By the way, I got it while browsing Cracked. Not going there again. |

The only thing I know what to do is to reboot your computer, seeing how that is the only way I keep getting rid of any I get. |

Anyway, if all else fails, you can try a system restore if you've set one up? |

Good. Vundo is, for all intents and purposes, a system cancer. |
