Vundo successfully removed, BUT, the aftermath!

Unknown
edited December 2008 in Spyware & Virus Removal
Removed Vundo primarily using Windows Update & Windows Defender

Scanning/Shielding using AVG, Windows Defender (& Windows Firewall), Ad-Aware. I have not used anything else (without a functioning browser or disk drive I'm kind of limited now).

Still getting:
-- Multiple virus alerts, frequently (3x/hour+)
-- Blocked browser navigation (default page is "download this or proceed" & proceeding just closes the window).
-- Missing DVD drive (could this be from removing programs through c/p tool?)

I'm a VERY avid computer user and haven't had a virus since 2002. (I got this mess from watching streaming TV episodes, next time I'll just pay the $1.99)

Willing to format, happy to do it in fact (data is backed up), as long as it could fix this.

    Hi nicqui,

    It sounds like you are having some serious problems there :sad2:

    Can you use System restore to get things working again ?
    do you have a USB/Flash drive that you could transfer files on ?
