Re: [Vundo] cannot get rid of virtumonde/vundo trojan

You can leave them, as their being there won't cause a problem.
What was the math program that needed them?

There are several free utilities you can use to help keep malware off your system:

A HOSTS file will prevent Internet Explorer from communicating with sites known to be associated with adware or spyware. A good regularly updated HOST file is MVPS HOSTS File, available at »www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm.

A free non-resident utility to prevent the installation of ActiveX-based malware is JavaCool's SpywareBlaster. For real-time protection, there is SpywareGuard. Both are available at »www.javacoolsoftware.com/products.html.

I recommend reading Tony Klein's article So How did I get Infected in the First Place? at »www.spywareinfoforum.com/index.p···ic=60955

Does your problem appear resolved?

I do have spywareblaster.

The math program I use on the internet is Aleks.com. It is the program that the community college requires me to use for school.
