Hi Rusty, thank you for replying so fast, i did as told and it seems to be working fine now, i dont get the run.dll error.

Does my windows update not working have anything to do with the virus/trojan/spyware or anything else?

[Rosty]

Hi,

sorry for the delay!

How are things running now?

[drop2]

Great Rosty,

Thank you very much, i think things are allright now and i hope i got rid of them all thanks to you.

Regards,
Frank Fernow

[Rosty]

Your computer now seems to be clean.

1. Clean out Temporary Files etc.
   This program is for Vista, XP and Windows 2000 only
   Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
   
   1. Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
   2. Under Main choose: Select All. Then remove the check mark for cookies
   3. Click the Empty Selected button.
   
   If you use Firefox browser
   • Click Firefox at the top and choose: Select All
   • Click the Empty Selected button.
   • Remove the check mark for Cookies
   • NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt if asked .
   If you use Opera browser
   • Click Opera at the top and
   • choose: Select All.
   • Remove the check mark for Cookies
   • Click the Empty Selected button.
   It is a good idea to do this every few weeks as a lot of junk collects there over time.
   
   
2. Create a new, clean System Restore point which you can use in case of future system problems:
   Press Start->All Programs->Accessories->System Tools->System Restore
   Select Create a restore point, then Next, type a name like All Clean then press the Create button and once it's done press Close
   
   Now remove old, infected System Restore points:
   Next click Start->Run and type cleanmgr in the box and press OK
   Ensure the boxes for Temporary Files and Temporary Internet Files are checked, you can choose to check other boxes if you wish but they are not required.
   Select the More Options tab, under System Restore press Clean up... and say Yes to the prompt
   Press OK and Yes to confirm
   
   
3. Set correct settings for files that should be hidden in Windows XP
   
   • Click Start > My Computer > Tools menu (at top of page) > Folder Options > View tab.
   • Under "Hidden files and folders" if necessary select Do not show hidden files and folders.
   • If unchecked please checkHide protected operating system files (Recommended)
   • If necessary check "Display content of system folders"
   • If necessary Uncheck Hide file extensions for known file types.
   • Click OK
   
   
   
4. Download and install the free version of WinPatrol. This program protects your computer in a variety of ways and will work well with your existing security software. Have a look at this tutorial to help you get started with the program. If you want to help the developer of the program and get more information about what the programs that you see in Winpatrol please check out Winpatrol Plus. It does not need a new download.
   
5. If you are using Internet Explorer v. 7 please read and follow the recommendations at this site. http://surfthenetsafely.com/ieseczone8.htm
   
6. Update your Anti Virus Software - It is imperative that you update your Anti virus software at least a few times a week (Once a day is a good idea). If you do not update your anti virus software it will not be able to catch new variants that come out.
   
7. Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. Without a firewall your computer is susceptible to being hacked and taken over. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly. Windows Firewall is not recommended.
   Be restrictive with granting access to the Internet. If you are unsure if the program really needs the access, test it by denying the access and see if this has any negative effects. If not, make the block permanent.
   
8. Never run two Antivirus programs or two Firewalls at the same time. They can interfere with each other and cause problems.
   
9. Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently or better yet set computer for automatic updates.
   
10. Update all these programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly. Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.
    
11. Read and follow the suggestions given at this web site by Miekiemoes http://users.telenet.be/bluepatchy/miekiem...prevention.html that will give you more information on some of the points above.
    
    
12. Please check out Tony Klein's article "How did I get infected in the first place?"

Follow this list and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically. (preventionspeech by Elrond)

Stand up and be Counted.
NOW is the time you can start to hit back at the people who infected you.

Please take the time to go and complain - that forum has a topic for your infection which is Vundo. Please post as a reply, you do not need to register to do so (but you can if you wish). It will also have a list of other places you can go to to register your complaint, depending on the country you are resident in. Please read the topics and complain, it is only with such complaints to government or government agencies that something will get done.

Regards,

Rosty.
