Get rid of Vundo or Virtumonde or Virtumondo
I use Windows XP. It’s a crime and MS must pay its users for mental harassments they go through when Windows is infected. Mine got infected 3rd time in last 8 years. This time it was Vundo or Virtumonde or Virtumondo that told me that my machine i.e. laptop was infected and I must install Antivirus 2009. Antivirus 2009 is a rogue software that invites more spy wares to party. And the party goes on till the time you either stop using Windows or reformat machine or 3rd option, get rid of this wonderful Vundo.
You will need Ubuntu and Hijack this. I don’t have words for this WOW thing. I hate myself for not completely migrating to Ubuntu. Ubuntu is much better than any desktop OS I have ever used. For uninformed, I have used Windows 9x series, Windows 2K, ME and XP. I am still away from Vista. According to me 98SE was the best thing and then it was Windows 2K with service packs applied. Now I use XP at work. Get bootable CD of Ubuntu. You can order a free CD from here and download Hijack this from here. I suggest downloading zipped Hjackthis.
Vundo exploits the BHO module of IE to compromise the laptop and it even hijacks Firefox. Hijackthis will search all these BHOs and will give you a list. Then you just need to stop some process, remove registry keys and delete some dll files. Thats it! No rocket science.
So start with this.
- Disconnect your machine from network. Turn off your wifi if you use wifi. Make sure you are not connected to internet.
- Run HijackThis and save the log to a convenient location. Some times these spy wares don’t appear in the log. Now if you don’t find anything wrong but you still see pop-ups that say download Antivirus 2009 then simply reboot the machine in safe mode. Rename the hijackthis executable to your name.exe and copy it to some other location. Run it. Save the log.
- Remove the registry keys which sound strange to you. I suggest removing all references to BHO objects in registry. Nothing serious will happen, the least you can do is mess up your windows installation. No big deal.
- Now reboot using Ubuntu Live CD.
- Open a file browser and locate your log and using log you can find the name of files you have to delete. Most of these will be in system32 folder in windows folder. Simply delete. Even if you are unable to reboot into Windows you still have Ubuntu.
- Reboot into Windows and Tada! Spy wares bye bye!
- Repeat above said processes if you still see pop ups saying you need to install Antivirus 2009.
Better migrate to Ubuntu. Its better than any thing you may have used. Only Open Office sucks some time and I miss Adobe Photoshop & Dreamweaver a lot.
Bruce Almighty is Rip-Off of God tussi great ho!!!
Its known to world that US of the A is technologically more advanced than India. So they can and I am 100% sure they have built a time machine. I can prove it.
Watch Hitch or Partner.
The director of Hitch used the time machine to travel in future and copied the idea from our own desi movie Partner.
Geez!!!
Thats so gross!!!
Cheap!!!
I was just hearing the interview of Roomy Jaffery who have directed this wonderful movie named, “GOD Tussi Great Ho”. According to him you can not reinvent the wheel. The angle for some stories will always remain same. What he meant that Tomy Shaydac & his team used time machine, traveled in future copied his idea and gave us Bruce Almighty.
I didnt watch the movie and the title was enough to warn me and then the hero is Salman Khan. I hate him.
