Re: [Vundo] Vundo removal

Documents and Setting is a virtual folder; it is used for backwards compatibility. You do not have as much freedome with these "virtual" representations of real folders. Vista instead writes all profile data in the folder "C:\Users".

I think we are done.

Open Acrobat if you have the Full Version installed Click Help and run the Upgrade applet found there. If no update is offered: Use the Preferences, Internet submenu of Acrobat and uncheck to integrate with your Browser. Close Acrobat.
Whether you had the Full Version of Acrobat or not, download and install Adobe Reader 8.1.1 and use this as the integrated PDF Reader insider your browser: »www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/r···ep2.html

Clean-up & Prevention:

• From the Start menu, click Control Panel, System, and on the left "System Protection." Un-checkmark all drives. When asked: "Are you sure you want to turn System restore off", click Turn off System Restore. Now repeat, this time reversing the steps to enable System Restore on all drives.

• Click Start, then click Run.
Enter into the command box that opens: combofix /u and then click OK.
(If we have renamed this file, please use the current name for the program in this instruction.)


• Run ATF Cleaner , and checkmark "Empty Recycle Bin", click "Empty Selected" and exit the program. You can delete or keep this utility as you wish.

• Use Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs, and Uninstall any entry related to an On-Line scanner we may have used.
If you find any files or folders created during this cleanup operation remaining, please feel free to delete them. For example, Uninstall MBAM.

• Refer to my first set of instructions above, and reconfigure Hidden Files and Folders to your choosing.

• If you have not purchased "StopZilla", please reconsider this software. While not a true "rogue" antimalware product, it is not a very good one.
