    Long story short: I had some viruses on my computer. Installed the free program Spybot, scanned and removed viruses. Installed ESET Smart Security to prevent future viruses. Still kept getting virtumonde viruses causing problems with internet. Fixed, they came back, fixed, they came back. Internet stopped messing up but computer slowed down drastically. Ran search for virtumonde and deleted all files. Computer still slow. I'm not sure what else to do. :confused:

    Please help.

    Cllick http://www.atribune.org/ccount/click.php?id=4 to download Vundofix.

    Once its downloaded, run the program, and then select scan for Vundo, and then once it has finished scanning, you should receive a prompt to remove the vundo virus.

    After you click yes, your screen should go blank and then you will be be promoted to restart your pc and then hopefully once you reboot, it will be gone!
