|
|
Hi there, I wasn't planning on this as my first post, but I saw that it is about the adware.virtumonde virus, which I got and really sucks!!!
OK, I was at work, and my wife was at home and we work looking at some sites together, and ended up infecting both computers with it. I know which site, but won't list it here.
So, on my work computer, I had the upgraded version of Cyberdefender, and ran it and it couldn't do anything. Since I had the upgraded version, I just called Cyberdefender and they got all the information. They said it was a new virus, and would need a day to work on it.
Next day, they had a update out, and I loaded in my system and it work, cleaned it out with no problem.
Now, the home computer cy8-rm00z was an issue. The nasty thing not only takes control of your desktop and browsers, but will force the system to crash if you try to install and run new virus software, not all but most of the big guys. Cyberdefender included.
On my home system I had Symantec anti-virus installed, but it could not find or do anything about adware.virtumonde. Since my browsers were looked, I could not download the newest Cyberdefender which had the fix for this, and I didn't make a copy from work.
Fortunately, I only had windows on the main drive, and I had a fairly recent image, so I just re imaged the drive, and all was well. I loaded Cyberdefender on it, and it is great.
Hope this helps.

have you tried removing that thing manually? i know it sounds complicated but it's not if you follow instructions step by step. well i've been told that sometimes it's better to delete viruses on your own, because some of them can block anti-viruses and other programs anyway, if you google Virtumonde removal you'll get these links: Virtumonde removal at bleeping computer and another virtumonde removal. btw if you type Virtumonde removal on google you get virtumonde website on results shouldn't it be blocked or something?
hope my answer helps you a little

that's a good idea but people usually have some reasons for not using this option. for example, they are not sure how it works and what to expect.

I installed Cyberdefender a couple of months ago, and really like it.
The free version had some annoying pop-ups, so I got the $24 upgrade and have been very happy with it. I have not had any problems/viruses since I installed it, but it did clear a few malware that tried to infect my system.
I think it's a great choice.

Windows System Restore may not be effective against Trojans like VirtueMonde.
