CheeseMan42 Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 So norton pops up and says i have this virus. It can't get rid of it for some reason, so i use the removal tool, says its not on my system, and yet it is. I think I might have to do the manual removal. Anyone have any other suggestions?

Ste Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Yes, Norton sucks monkey. Try AVG or Avasti to get ride of it, also run HIjackthis and post log. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cold_snipe Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Do a quick manual removal, trojans are pretty easy to get rid of! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Now see, if you got ride of norton and used AVG or avasti you most likly wouldn't have this problem. They are free how much better could it be! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Turn off System Restore, boot into Safe Mode and try running the removal tool. If that doesn't fix it, do a Google search on "trojan vundo" and you'll find several approaches on removing it manually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
