About Lorry
Expertise
I can answer most questions regarding viruses/Trojans and help to remove them.

Experience
This happens to be of interest to me as it boggles my mind that people have nothing better to do than to write a virus. Wish these people, the ones who write viruses would put the knowledge to good use instead. My job as a local tech involves removing viruses and/or spyware.

Computer Security & Viruses - vundo trojan


Expert: Lorry - 6/24/2008

Question
Do any of the vundo fix programs actually work that are out there. A client has the vundo trojan even though he had Mcafee installed. I have download vundofix.exe and cleanup40.exe but havent run them till I can verify if they are legit.

Thanks

Answer
Hi Walter,

I would suggest going to the following site and download the Removal Tool:

http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2004-112210-3747-99

The other thing to remember is that no matter what AV program a person uses, they must keep it up to date and run a virus scan at least once a week.

Hope this helps!
Lorry
