Trojan Vundo Removal

Trojan Vundo is a type of trojan that comes in the form of a .exe file. You can get this trojan on your computer via an email attachment or a download through IRC, ICQ.

The symptons of this trojan causes multiple window tabs to open. These windows tabs display advertising whenever you try to log on to the internet. Another type of Trojan vundo can open backdoor to your computer which opens up attacks to other types of trojans into your computer. At the very least, trojan vundo causes the computer to slow down and your surfing can crawl to a halt, when multiple advertisements pop up.

Trojan vundo is sometimes detected by Norton but is unable to be removed, even after multiple scans and reboots. There are many heuristic versions of this trojan, hence the difficulty to remove it.

Trojan Vundo can sometimes be manually removed. But this is often quite tedious.

If you're running AVG or Norton, be sure to update your virus definitions to the latest then do a scan. If trojan vundo is removed, then all is fine. You will know that your computer is ok when the symptons stop.

If the symptons persist, then you might want to get a dedicated trojan removal tool that is dedicated to remove trojans. Often the trojan removal process is a simple scan and remove. Your computer will also be permanently protected against all future trojan attacks.
