Hi Crunchie,

I have been running IE for at least an hour now and I haven't had a pop-up or had those url.urtbk tabs popping up either. I also haven't had a message from mcafee regarding artemis or vundo, but i haven't done a mcafee scan since yesterday.

Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate it. I know you're busy, but could you briefly tell me what happened and how I could prevent it from happening again? Do you recommend I switch to Firefox instead of using IE? And, I gather McAfee is not the best for malware, which program would you recommend I use to regularly check for malware? Lastly, if there are any other problems or if I encounter a similar problem in the future, do I do the same thing as what you did here? or do i start another post or continue on this one?

Again, thank you so much,
Gerard

If I had a question to ask, is there a way to direct the question to you?

Your security precautions are not quite up to scratch, hence the reason you were infected.
In my opinion, you should stop using IE as soon as and migrate to either OPERA browser, or FireFox.
Scrap McAfee and install Comodo suite, which is free for home users.

If this is now solved, you can mark the thread solved by selecting that option next to the reply button.

Any future problems need to have a new thread for.
All the volunteers who help here (PhilliePhan and jholland) are highly capable of assisting you in future if I am not available.

(roverphoenix did one in your site.www.daniweb.com/code/snippet216784.html)

Hi Crunchie,

Thank you once again for all your help. I will do what you recommened.

Very Grateful,
Gerard

Ok, but before you go;

Let's get rid of Combofix now that we are finished with it.

• Click START then RUN
• Now type Combofix /u in the runbox and click OK. Note the space between the X and the /, it needs to be there.

Hi Crunchie,

Sorry I couldn't reply to your last point sooner. I ran McAfee Scan and was still getting the trorjans: aretmis and vundo quarantined.

Here is one of the items that was quarantined:
c:\qobox\quarantine\c\windows\system32\wifowigu.dll.vir
the detection name for the trojan is Vundo.gen.cd

Do you know how I could completely eradicate these two trojans?

Thanks,
Gerard

If you follow my last instructions, you will find that the warnings will stop.
McAfee is finding the infection in Combofix's quarantine folder.

Hi,

Ok, I see that now. I will go ahead and uninstall ComboFix and mark this thread solved.

Again, thank you very much. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Gerard

No worries . For your own peace of mind, uninstall Combofix and then do another McAfee scan.
