vundo/virtumondo.C/winfixer problem need help quickly!!!

first off, thanks to all the volunteers who work here its really nice to see people helping those of us less fortunate who don't understand computers!

now, on the business..... as the topic explains, my norton keeps finding vundo, and the symantec removal doesnt work. every time i restart, the norton antivirus pops up again with a vundo problem. earlier, mircrosoft antispyware caught virtumonde.C on my computer and claimed to have fixed it. in either case, this is my hijack this log:

    Your log is clean. :thumbsup:



    Join the Folding@Home project :)
    Join our Folding@Home team! Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, cancer... we're trying to cure them with our computers! You've at least read a little about it in the greeting I sent you when you signed up for the site. We're always really pleased to greet new members to the team, and it's a quick way to become an appreciated member of the community.
    MORE INFO: READ THIS



    Follow this guide by Crunchie to stay more secure
    Now that your PC is clean you need to follow these easy steps to keeping it this way:

    Secure your Internet Explorer by going here and following the instructions there.

    Better yet, use an alternative browser! Download FireFox and give it a run. It is far more secure than Internet Explorer. Or, you can get Opera which in my opinion, is better still.

    Use a firewall to help prevent your PC's control being usurped by undesireables.

    Install and keep updated, Ad-Aware SE, and Spybot S&D.
    Run them both on a regular basis, following the manufacturer's recommendations.

    Install an anti-virus. There are some good, free AV's available today. Make sure that it is updated regularly and have it scan your system often.

    Check for Windows Updates. Microsoft regularly post updates for your systems safe running. Make sure to take advantage of this. Reboot when installed and return to make sure there are no others.


    Clear your Temp folders.
    Clear out your Temporary internet files and other temp files.
    Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel >Internet Options.

    Under the General tab click the Delete temporary internet files,
    delete all Offline content as well. Clear out Cookies.

    Also, go to Start > Find/search > Files or folders > in the named box, type: *.tmp and choose Edit > select all -> File > delete.

    Empty/delete the entire contents of the C:\Windows\temp folder and C:\temp folder, if you have one. (Contents but not the folder itself.)

    C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\

    In order to view these files you may have to select 'show hidden files/folders.' Instructions on how to here.

    Empty the Recycle Bin.

    For XP users.
    After something like this it is a good idea to Flush the Restore Points and start fresh.
    To flush the XP system Restore Points.

    Go to Start>Run and type msconfig. Press enter.

    When msconfig opens, click the Launch System Restore Button.
    On the next page, click the System Restore Settings link on the left.

    Check the box labelled 'Turn off System restore'.

    Reboot. Go back in and Turn System Restore Back on. A new Restore Point will be created.

    Note that all previous restore points will be lost.
