Trojan.Vundo - how to remove?

Unknown

Norton AntiVirus has detected the Trojan.Vundo virus on my pc and is unable to repair the file. I have run a full system scan and attempted the Symantec fix (both in safe mode) with no joy.

Below is my HijackThis report log. Please can someone help me remove this virus?

Thanks.

Crunchie,

Thanks for your response. I actually tried your suggestion earlier today, but unfortunately, VundoFix doesn't reopen after I put a check next to "Run VundoFix as a task".

Crunchie

Can you please do the following.

===============

Scan with HiJackThis, then check(tick) the following, if present:


R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant =

O2 - BHO: CIEPl Object - {6BB18EFE-F2C7-457C-81FE-705757171FA0} - C:\WINNT\system32\nd_gfx9.dll

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ahysotnc] C:\WINNT\system32\ahysotnc.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [ahysotnc] C:\WINNT\system32\ahysotnc.exe

O20 - Winlogon Notify: nd_gfx9 - C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\nd_gfx9.dll


Now, close all instances of Internet Explorer and any other windows you have open except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

===============

Locate and delete the following item(s), if present. Make sure you are able to view system and hidden files/ folders:

files...

C:\WINNT\system32\nd_gfx9.dll
C:\WINNT\system32\ahysotnc.exe

-

Note that some of these file(s)/folder(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're 'in use', try deleting them in "Safe Mode".

-

Reboot.

• Restart your computer
• After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
• Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear use arrow up to highlight
• Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode hit enter.
• For additional help in booting into Safe Mode, see the following site: HERE
  
  You MUST manage to get into Safe Mode for the fix to work.
