Do it all the time for issue like this. the sad thing is most people who get infected with this just did not have protection in the right place. I'm not saying everyone but most people.

Go back to a time when Virtumonde was not present. Then once the restore is done download Smitfraudfix and Spybot Search and Destroy (Both 100% free) and run the scans in safe mode to remove any left over traces. This works for most people. I remove this bad boy all the time and in most cases it works well. For those that are not tech savvy enough to use Highjack this you can always use the system restore option in XP and Vista.

It is always nice having a debate with you. Since you are out of India and obviously feeling home sick today, I will give you - VICTORY! You win man! Be happy! Happy Independence Day. OK end of topic.

Regarding that spy ware, yes I did some thing wrong thats why my PC got infected. Read the post again. 2nd thing, I knew I must not click these pop ups but what about the end users. They are prompted to click and they click. This wont happen on Mac/*nix. Dude, I know Oracle is available for Linux. I said "I never used Oracle". Come on man, again a matter of personal choice.

WRONG. Just read your blog post. This virus is not a backdoor - it comes when you yourself click on it. There is a difference. I never did deny that Linux or Mac is better than Windows, but I never said this on the basis of the fact that I myself clicked on a pop up which said you have spyware on your computer. b) Java? What do you mean by this? c) Oracle: http://www.oracle.com/technologies/linux/index.html Oracle is available for Linux. I was talking about the end user . A person for whom the ideology of KISS is based upon. A person who need not give compiler flags so that his software runs faster. ""I was trying to do some thing which invited those nasty spy wares to my system"" I don't understand. And I am not being rash or anything. Just talking matter-of-factly. You know I use Ubuntu also, but I make it a point not to blow my trumpet when I know it sucks badly in many ways. You grew under windows influence so you tend to hate/criticize Linux.

“”I was trying to do some thing which invited those nasty spy wares to my system”" I don’t understand.

But believe it or not *nix are better than Windows. Raise a kid in *nix environment and that kid will never ever use Windows. If same kid used Mac he/she will never ever use windows or *nix. You grew under windows influence so you tend to hate/criticize Linux. I dont want to start a flame war but yes Ubuntu is a better OS and I never ever used a) VB b) Java c) Oracle d) .NET e) Cad Softwares f) remixing softwares, yes I had audacity to record my conferences. I do use Photoshop now and then but am trying to master Gimp. It's just a matter of personal choice. I have right to say Salman Khan sucks and you have right to say he is the only guy who knows how to act. Dude, every OS has got its own share of problem.

Shed the cocoon you are wearing. I have seen people using Mac, Ubuntu and Windows here in Los Angeles and they are real world not "IT" people. Not every one is like a typical Indian who needs all the damn softwares on PC just coz they are cool. We need Oracle, .NET, AutoCad, Adobe Studio, Games, A/V softwares and everything, but do we really need? First of all calm down. 2nd thing, I know real world not tech savvy people using Ubuntu.

Bhai, I dint praise Ubuntu for nothing. 2ndly, I was trying to do some thing which invited those nasty spy wares to my system and as I have never ever faced such an irritating situation I decided to share my easy way out with people. Nothing special yaar. And you know windows sucks. Oh my God!

Its better than any thing you may have used. Only Open Office sucks some time and I miss Adobe Photoshop & Dreamweaver a lot. 1. How many people know about Ubuntu (minus the tech savy)?? 2. Even if they do, are they aware of Wubi? Cause the general perception is that Linux is difficult to install. 3. How many people actually care about whether their software is open source or not? 4. Does the end user really care whether if he compiles his own software he will get some performance benefits? 5. What about the plethora of software that doesn't run on Ubuntu? Photoshop? Y!Messenger? Windows Live? AutoCAD? Games? 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.
