   Vundo Removal
   How to Remove WinFixer / Virtumonde / Msevents / Trojan.vundo.
   http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic18610.html
   Tools needed for this fix:
   * Vundo Fix
   * VirtumundoBegone (if VundoFix does not work)

   Malware Removal: Virtumundo
   http://wiki.castlecops.com/Malware_Removal:_Virtumundo
   This procedure is to remove Adware-Virtumundo (Vundo).Winfixer /WinAntiSpyware / WinAntiVirus and Adware-Virtumundo are not one and the same. Persistent WinAntiSpyware or WinAntiVirus popups which pester the user to purchase the program, are indicative of Adware-Virtumundo or a Vundo infection, for short, but it is also possible to have the program Winfixer program and its successors installed without Vundo accompanying it.

   WinFixer is a spyware application that presents the user with false notifications about system errors and other computer problems. These notifiers however are generally false and if true may actually been added by the WinFixer application itself. The main purpose of this software is to get the end user to purchase the full version of the product.

   This will remove it, free.

   99% of all internet problems can be attributed to the wrong set of Web browser and Email clients in coordination of the
   AV/ Spyware / Firewall software.

   Get the following, all are free for a safe surfing experience, with proven track records and do not take up
   system resources like Norton or McAffee.
   install in SAFE mode with networking ( hit F-8 at boot time ), run them all in SAFE mode
   with networking as you’ll need it for the updates all the programs below will need.
   Turn off RESTORE and the RECYLE BIN temporarily as virii can regenerate / reinfect even if you delete
   them with both services on. After all the scanning and cleaning after a 2nd reboot and one last
   scan do you turn both of them back on.

   ANTI VIRAL

   AVG (free) http://free.grisoft.com/

   FIREWALL

   ZoneAlarm http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/company/products/znalm/freeDownload.jsp

   WEB BROWSER – http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox

   EMAIL use thunderbird. It has a good built in spam filter and learns when you teach it. http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird

   Once you set it all up create 3 email accounts..

   a hotmail or yahoo account for web "verification", this account you will not care if it get spammed

   a sub account ( from the master account )to your ISP that you use for logons, this is the one you use for personal
   emails only to trusted people and banking, ebay and paypal. Never use the account for anything else than that,
   you find spam is low to non existant if you follow this rule, and even if it does become spam laden, then you
   can delete the account and create a new sub account and do all the email updates to ebay, paypal, banks and your
   freinds.

   finally your master account from your ISP, this one you NEVER use, it’s only kept for creating sub accounts since
   changing the master account is a real pain.

   and if you have a wireless router follow these tips,

   1. Use WPA encryption (WPA-PSK) it’s less crackable then WEP.

   2. Make a passphrase that is upper & lower case and has some numbers thrown in there as well, again harder to crack.
   some like mAkE1t5eCurE0rel53 and as long as possible.

   3. Use MAC access control so only you or authorized PC’s can connect (even if you do have encryption turned on)

   4. Turn off DHCP use static addresses.

   5. Turn off SSID (and change it) unless your card really needs it (some do)

   6. Change username/password of access unit front end

   7. Ensure you have the usual firewall enabled on your PC.

   8. Paranoia rules, turn WLAN off if your not using it 🙂

   one last tip
   control panel—administrator tools–services–messenger

   right clik on it
   stop the service
   then disable it
   save changes
