From my research (general searches of the symptoms and .dll files attemtping to gain access constantly) as well as certain scanners reporting as such, I have the following MAJOR problem:

VUNDO trojan/virus/malware (whatever it's techincally classified as)

Which, obviously, as of it's nature, has opened the door to multiple other malware/spyware.


I will be posting my *limited* information here shortly, as to my scan results and other information.

I say *limited*, because, even though I followed the directions in the sticky thread about what to do before posting, certain logs were NOT possible to obtain. I think the directions to the sticky thread need to be revisited and updated (I imagine the procedures have changed, possibly due to an update in some of the used programs).

Here's what I could not accomplish, while following instructions, step by step:

1. Fine
2. Fine
3. Fine
4. Fine. Nothing suspicious.
5. Fine.
6. Fine. Showed NOTHING (least effective scan of all of them, apparently).
7. PROBLEM! #1...ESET *ONLINE SCANNER* - as directed in the directions, even though I download the regular copy - Did NOT provide a log, even though it DID scan it. I DID however, manually copy the results (it showed two almost identical problems):

'
Probably a variant of Win32/Trojandownloader.Agent Trojan
C:\Documents and Settings\VanDeKerkhove\Desktop\Junk and Extras\XPKeySP2.zip>>ZIP>>XPKeySP2.exe

Probably a variant of Win32/Trojandownloader.Agent Trojan
C:\Documents and Settings\VanDeKerkhove\Desktop\Junk and Extras\XPKeySP2.zip
'

This being the case, I decided I should try Panda Scan. So I did.
I will be attaching that [pretty unspecific-looking] log to my next post.

8A. Fine
8B. Well. this was a huge waste of time - at least for the end result that would help you guys diagnose my situation... Although suspicious of it not going to work, I decided to follow your guys' directions to the letter. After the scan (which if I recall correctly, found 3 problematic areas) I did NOT click "Save Report" until AFTER I clicked "Apply all actions".....Problem being...After I did that, although it seemed to have taken care of the baddies, the SAVE REPORT button was greyed-out...I couldn't save the report. I check the report tab, but no report was generated. Sorry, but I have no log to show of this scan.

I am currently on Step 8C...and because of the lack of a log from AVG, I will be including anything that both Windows Defender and SpybotSD come up with...

But can someone please check into my notes above, and let me know if I'm right, in that there's a couple problems with the sticky thread's instructions up to this point?

THANKS! I WILL BE POSTING LOGS HERE SHORTLY! PLEASE CHECK BACK SOON!
*I am posting this from an uninfected laptop. My main home computer (not sharing any files on a network with this laptop) is the one that's infected. I'm just waiting for Defender and then SpybotSD to scan.
