WARNING: HiJack This is a VERY POWERFUL tool. While it's completely safe for you to download, generate, and post your log (as described above), you should *NOT* attempt to do anything else (in particular, do NOT use it to delete/fix any entries) until you are advised to do so by a forum expert!! Improper use of this tool can severely damage your system.
I had Trojan.Vundo also on my buddys Dimension 2400 that was detected by norton anti-virus but their removal tool did not work. I searched and tried numerous other removal tools and came across Webroot spy sweeper which took care of it with little effort on my part. It is a 14 day free trial, I will try this in the future first.
1) if you carefully read the entire post above, you'll notice that the person later wrote that "Norton's alert window stopped popping up, and the Symantec FixVundo no longer finds the trojan", so on that basis, I believe we can assume that the original trojan.vundo problem has already been solved here.
2) while webRoot spysweeper is indeed an first-rate, excellent product... and while it can remove trojan.vundo... the "problem" is that the free version is only usable during the 14-day trial period... after that, if you get another infection, either you have to buy it (which is probably worth the money in this case) or else, find an alternative free fix for trojan.vundo. there are in fact two such free fixes available for the download. the simplest to use is VirtumundoBeGone, which is what i currently recommend. the other is something called the Atribune VundoFix [which the person posting here already had and used], which also works, but is slightly more "complicated" to run.
