Infected with the Vundoo/Boaxxe Trojan

Hi, I'm new to this site, but I see that you guys seem to be successful
in many cases. I was trying to find the latest drivers for my graphics
card the other day, and then I think I got a virus. My McAfee keeps
saying Boaxxe.dll was detected and deleted. But it never deleted, I
believe its called a "rootkit?" I'm not sure. When I try to go on the
internet, the virus makes me stuck on certain sites, it won't let me
move. Like when I turn on firefox, it makes me not able to navigate to
other pages. Also some windows pop up saying that your computer is slow
etc etc click okay to install antivirus. And I also tried to delete the
DLL. I found it in my system32 files. And the virus would be slowed
down, but never fully removed. So everytime I restart my computer I
need to delete those dlls. And its always a long weird chain of letters.

But yeah here is my log from hijackthis.

Thanks in advance.

Also,

I've realized that everytime I delete the DLL files of the virus, it
regenerates with another dll with some random letters, it regenerates
every 24 hours. I believe the virus scheduled itself, I hope this
helped.

Re: Infected with the Vundoo/Boaxxe Trojan

http://forums.pcworld.com/images/emoticons/grin.gif Hi :


I just finished reading through a very long "Thread" on another Forum of someone having

the same "infection"; they were guided by several highly trained and CERTIFIED "Malware-

Fighters" using highly specialized programs to finally remove it . There are no such Experts

on this Forum . However, before I recommend a good Site to help you, you should uninstall

your outdated ( a very serious security risk ) Adobe Reader and seriously consider using

the FREE "Foxit Reader", available from http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php

as its "replacement" .

I am going to recommend you seek assistance at http://aumha.net/ , particularly their

"Windows XP & 2000 (Win 5.x) " sub-forum . This forum is staffed by many highly trained

and CERTIFIED by Microsoft as "Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals" . Good Luck .

Re: Infected with the Vundoo/Boaxxe Trojan
:D Hi "Andrew :

Bill Castner of the Aumha Forums is One of the Best when it comes to helping Users rid

their computers of very bad spyware; we have "tangled" in the Past on WHAT security

programs are best on keeping malware OFF a computer . I do NOT recommend either

"Windows Defender" or Comodo's BOClean . And many similar Malware-cleaning

Experts like Bill recommend keeping MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware on your computer and

"Updating" it ever day and running an occasional scan; I run mine about once every

10 days .
