XPS M1530 running Windows 7 and Trojan.Vundo
Hello,
I recently found out that I have a Trojan.Vundo virus! I can not find anything that will remove it. Can any one help?
Also, I backed up my computer a couple of months ago and I haven't added anything that can't be re-added, can I just start my system over? I know that the Trojan.Vundo was not on my computer at the time of the back up!
Thank you!

Try running Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware.
Please download to your desktop Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from Here or Here
Double Click mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
and just double-click on mbam-rules.exe to install.
Alternatively, you can update through MBAM's interface from a clean computer,
copy the definitions (rules.ref) located in
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes'
Anti-Malware from that system to a usb stick or CD and then copy it to the infected machine.
Click Remove Selected.
1. Just click the "+ New Post" button (upper right) in the Malware Removal forum HERE
to start your own thread requesting assistance for a follow-up check to be sure the malware is gone.
2. In the discussion window that opens, simply Right-Click and select Paste.
Extra Notes:
If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove,you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts,click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process,if asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately.
-- MBAM may make changes to your registry as part of its disinfection routine. If you're using other security programs that detect registry changes (like Spybot's Teatimer), they may interfere with the fix or alert you after scanning with MBAM. Please disable such programs until disinfection is complete or permit them to allow the changes.
**If you need to re-install MBAM but encounter issue in re-installing, try using the MBAM Cleanup Utility by downloading it from http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam-clean.exe

I ran a quick scan and nothing popped up.
Here is what the problem is: When I open my email account (Hotmail) everything loads fine. When I open an email, the advertisement to the right keeps reloading, the "Hotmail - Inbox" on the window tab keeps reloading, the "Reload Current Page" keeps flashing between the Red X and the Reload Arrow. When I try to scroll down the page I get pulled back to the top. I've log on to my mothers email and it does the same thing however when I use another computer both email accounts are fine. I am currently running Firefox Version 4 Beta 9
I am going to run a full system scan with Malwarebytes.

What diagnosed this activity as "Vundo"? The symptoms that you describe do not sound like Vundo to me. What anti-virus are you using?
Does this happen with IE as well as Firefox Beta?
