Vundo is part of the Vundo and Virtumonde family of Trojans.  This spyware is a rouge trojan and very bad stuff.  If you are infected with vundo.dll then you need to remove it ASAP.  This program goes out and downloads other malicious software onto your system.  Common symptoms include a fake anti-virus program being installed onto your system, your home page being highjacked and a ton of pop-ups.

In order to remove this threat you have a few different choices.  You can always just pay for someone to repair your system.  The cost will vary but a few hundred bucks is not out of the question.  This bad boy is hard to remove so it will cost you to have a pro do it.  Online computer repair companies can remove it for a lot cheaper but your still looking to spend about 89 bucks on that.  A good place for online repair is this Computer Repair Shop

Alternatively you can use a product like Spyware Doctor to remove this threat.  Spyware Doctor can remove Vundo.dll from your system.  You need to run the scan in safe mode in order to fully remove it but it does work. View our Vundo Removal Software page for more info.

A special free tool has been developed called Vundofix that works about 40% of the time at removing this threat.  However most people find themselves infected again as soon as they reboot because Vundofix does not remove the other spyware programs and once you re-boot you re infected again.  Vundofix does not offer active protection so that is why I don’t even bother using this tool anymore.

vundo is very similar to Virtumonde.  In fact you handle the Vundo trojan the exact same way.   If you have bee ngetting nothing but pop-ups and your current anti-virus software keeps mentioning winfixer, Sysprotect, vundo or Virtumonde then your computer is infected with spyware.

The Vundo Trojan is not just your normal run of the mill spyware.  This bad boy goes out and installs many different spyware programs onto your computer.  those programs in turn go out and install more and before you know it you can't even move around in the system anymore.

Every once in a while I get a call from a customer saying they have pop-ups and some of them even mention the Vundo Trojan.  We always ask when they think they were first infected.  Our normal charge for Spyware removal is 129 but when the customer comes back and says they have been infected for over 6 months the price just goes up from there.  This is because of the time it takes to remove the trojan once it's been on your system for that long of a time.  I'm talking about an in-home computer repair visit.  Most places ours inlcuded have a little cheaper price if you bring the system in.  More and more I see people taking advantage of Online Computer repair.  Pleaces like http://www.onlinecomputerrepair.org offer to remove all spyware and viruses for only 89 bucks right online and they offer a great gurantee.  It's worth a look if you need to have an expert fix your computer.
