Frustrated (TROJ_VUNDO.awa)

Hi everyone,

I am running:
WIN XP home with SP2 and all updates
on Acer Notebook - Celeron 1.4, with 256M Ram
Spybot, Adaware, Norton 360, Hijackthis! all installed...

I recently encountered serious performance issues where the image from windows task manager ('system') was always running at 100% CPU. After getting my machine stuck in a loop forcing to "safe mode ", I managed to recover off the XP cd, edit the boot.ini, and then get back in to do some general browsing around, and was advised to run Spyware. After multiple efforts, I finally managed to get to HouseCall and it discovered Troj_Vundo.awa, and after following the directions I "removed" the troj. For most of you that are competant with computers, you already realize that I didn't turn off system restore... so again, and again, and again I tried... finally I "removed" the trojan - but it showed up again when I installed and ran vundofix from Attribune. This time, I removed it - but as I was doing so I was prompted by Spybot to make a decision - but the memory was so low on my machine I couldn't see the buttons on the pop-up... I must have said "ignore" or "don't change" the registry, and as such the vundo files are not on my computer, but the registry keys are there.... I think..

I am obviously not the pc - afficionado that I used to think I was, and I need your help!

Hi, Donfox. Welcome to Windows BBS!

I suggest you paste a fresh HijackThis! log here to give the malware-removal experts something more to work with.
