Vundo is hard to remove, removal process is very compicated. Vundo and its mutated clones: Vundo.b, Vundo.celldorado also silently downloads aditional files from the Internet and runs arbitrary potentially harmful files, mostly adware components. Vundo is distributed by e-mail in messages containing links to insecure web sites, which exploit certain security vulnerabilities of the Internet Explorer web browser. Once the user clicks on such a link, Internet Explorer opens a dangerous site that automatically installs the Vundo trojan into the system without user knowledge and consent. Vundo is responsible for the severe decrease of the amount of system virtual memory available. This results in noticeable computer performance slowdowns. Vundo secretly runs on every Windows startup. Vundo creates a DLL file in the Windows system32 directory and writes registry entries, causing Windows to inject the file into winlogon.exe and many other programs. There are some tools created to remove Vundo trojan. They called vundofix, they can fix certain variants of Vundo trojan. http://www.2-spyware.com/remove-vundo.html Thu, 03 Jul 2008 11:07:01 CDT http://www.2-spyware.com/remove-gxvpsafm-toolbar.html Gxvpsafm Toolbar is the latest in the long list of Zlob Trojan clones.
