Trojan Vundo is a virus that attacks many people's hard drives. This virus gives you pop-ups in your Internet browser telling you the computer's memory or preference is deteriorating. Trojan Vundo uses these pop-ups to get people to buy corrupted or false security software. Removing Trojan Vundo from your computer is the only way to ensure your computer's safety.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Back up all of your important files and documents before you begin. A program like VirtumundoBeGone scans your computer for infected files, then it cleans or removes the files containing the Trojan Vundo virus.
Step2
Download VirtumundoBeGone from their secure download page (see Resources below). Click "Run" in the dialog box that pops up. This runs the installation files for VirtumundoBeGone.
Step3
Close all other programs that you are running. The only program that needs to be open is VirtumundoBeGone.
Step4
Read the disclaimer once all the other programs are closed. Click the "Continue" button on the bottom-right side of the disclaimer window.
Step5
Click "Start" in the next dialog box. This starts the scan for the Trojan virus. Let the scan run completely before you start any other programs. This scan may take as long as 2 hours to complete.
Step6
Follow the directions on the screen to remove or clean infected files.
Step7
Reboot the computer when VirtumundoBeGone is finished.
