In a previous post about Win32 Vundo virus removal we detailed the best way we have found to remove the vundo / virtumonde virus. Please try that way first. If that does not work, here are the instructions to remove the Win32 virus another way.
- Download VirtumundoBegone and save it to your desktop.
- Now reboot into Safe Mode.
- This can be done tapping the F8 key as soon as you start your computer
- You will be brought to a menu where you can choose to boot into safe mode.
- Select safe mode with networking using your arrow keys on the keyboard and then press enter.
- When you computer reaches the desktop make sure you log in as the same user which you had performed the previous steps,
- Once you are logged into safe mode, double-click VirtumundoBeGone.exe file you just downloaded and follow the instructions.
- Exit when it has finished, and reboot back to normal mode.
This should fix your machine. We may sound like a broken record on this blog but now go out and buy the very best virus protection you can afford. Although the Vundo / Virtumonde virus is annoying it is not the worst thing your computer could get infected with. Protect yourself!!

Surfing the internet is fun and exciting but if don’t have a good scan to rid your computer of the bugs it picks up then you will run into some problems. My search for a good scanner led me to the antispyware solution from Search-and-destroy. This is one of the best scans that I’ve ever used and it’s available at http://www.Search-and-destroy.com/antispyware.html. I believe that you will like Search-and-destroyAntispyware as much as I do if you give it a try. It works great and cost less than many of the other options you will find when it comes to antispyware scanners.
