View Full Version : Who else has had this Vundo trojan?
It looks like I have it......McAfee says it has removed the damn thing but it keeps "coming back". I assume it's buried itself pretty deep.
Here's a list of a few that I have seen my POS McAfee pick up:
Vundo!.grb
Vundo.gen.ab
HTML/FakeAV
It's an irritating sumbitch I tell ya! Does anybody have a tried and true way to get rid of this thing? I have seen a few fixes out there but I'm not sure what to trust. My fellow webratters have never steered me wrong in the past so I have no reason to believe you would now.

Make sure you scan regularly after you remove it. I had a variant of this once before and it kept coming back. I had to reinstall windows for something else anyways, and that got rid of it. But I'm sure there are less drastic actions you can take
