Hi. Please help me. I´m trying to help my family with there computer, Norton says that it been infected with Vundo in vturs.dll. Neither smithfraudfix or virtumundobegone could fix it. I´d tryed to remove the files from DOS but the virus appears to be there. It´s hard to do things/give instructions over the phone so now I try a Hijackthis log.

I am reviewing your log.
In the meantime, you can help me by doing the following:
* Have you have posted this issue on another forum? If so, please provide a link to the topic.
* If you are using any cracked software, please remove it.
Definition of cracked software:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_cracking
* If you are using any P2P (file sharing) programs, please remove them before we clean your computer.
The nature of such software and the high incidence of malware in files downloaded with them is counter productive to restoring your PC to a healthy state.
* If this computer belongs to someone else, do you have authority to apply the fixes we will use?
* Have you already fixed entries using HijackThis? If so, please restore all the backups and then post another log.
* After we begin working, please print or copy all instructions to Notepad in order to assist you when carrying out procedures.
Please follow all instructions in sequence. Do not, on your own, install/re-install any programs or run any fixes or scanners that you have not been instructed to use because this may cause conflicts with the tools that I am using.
** We may be using some specialized tools during our fix. Certain embedded files that are part of legitimate programs or specialized fix tools such as process.exe, restart.exe, SmiUpdate.exe, reboot.exe, ws2fix.exe, prcviewer.exe and nircmd.exe may at times be detected by some anti-virus/anti-malware scanners as a "RiskTool", "Hacking tool", "Potentially unwanted tool", or even "malware (virus/trojan)" when that is not the case.
Such programs have legitimate uses in contexts where an authorized user or administrator has knowingly installed it. These detections do not necessarily mean the file is malware or a bad program. It means it has the potential for being misused by others. Anti-virus scanners cannot distinguish between "good" and "malicious" use of such programs, therefore they may alert you or even automatically remove them.
* If your replies do not fit in one post while we are handling your issue, please reply to yourself until all text is submitted. It may take several posts.
I look forward to your reply.

If you do not have physical contact with the computer, how will you use the tools and post reports from their logs? If I handle your problem, cleaning will take several days. There are multiple infections showing in that log.
I will wait for your reply before I continue.

We can try to fix it, but you really need to have access to the computer so that you can sit in front of it and follow step-by-step instructions. It may take several days.
