Infected by Trojan.Vundo (AntiVirus 2009) …..??
One of Test PCs got infected by this Trojan variant. It keeps popping banners and also keeps telling you that you need to install Antivirus 2009 software to uninstall viruses it has found.
A quick read on google mentions that installing this software opens backdoors to more viruses and trojans. So i had to find ways to remove it. Trojan Vundo, comes through ActiveX in Websites or through Cracked Softwares. I was trying a cracked software , so i know this happened the moment i loaded the crack. ( One of the reasons to buy genuine software)
So the only way to remove this was to install a trial version of “Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware” and clean the menance out. Let the scan run for “Complete PC”, it would take around an hour or more depending on how much programs or files you have. you could also run a backup check through symantec removal tool.

i usually try a lot of cracked programs (actually i download the original program from the vendor’s site, but use a keygen or a patch)
but i’ve never had an infected system, because i run norton antivirus againest the programs immediately after download, then move them to a virtual machine which is protected also buy norton, and install them there, test them, wait few days before actually trust the keygen or crack.
when everything seems fine, i run them on my host pc.
lool, i know i might sound a little paranoid person
but i like to play safe! (*)
