Question
I have eset nod32 antivirus it detects a adware named virtumonde and tells cleaned after next restart after 7-8 attempts of retstart still it says the same, how can i remove it from my computer.

Answer
See http://www.wikihow.com/Delete-Virtumonde for removal instructions.

If this doesn't work it may be that your computer is infected with a newer version. If this is the case, Symantec antivirus has just been updated today to remove even the most recent version. See http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2003-120914-4108-99

If you decide to install Symantec antivirus, you will need to remove your current antivirus program, as they would conflict and crash your computer.
