Hello! I appreciate this forum and the help you provide and hopefully
you guys can help me with this annoying problem. I am running a Windows
Vista on an HP 32-bit laptop system.

I somehow acquired that "Windows Antivirus 2009" on my system and I
have the following security software on my computer (I disable some of
them sometimes which I maybe should not have done):

McAfee, Spybot Search & Destroy, Combofix, Vundofix, Windows Defender,
the paid online version of PandaSecurity anti-virus scan (which is
usually very good!), and UniBlue spyeraser.

I ran these various programs multiple times and before I ran these
scans, my computer was absolutely horrendous as windows were popping up
etc and my typing was much slower and it was driving me crazy.

All of my Spyware seemed to be destroyed except Virtumonde.prx won't
remove! I run the Spybot Search & Destroy and it "locates" this file and
I click on remove but I run the scan again and it is still there! I run
Windows Defender and it find the trojan and says "it removed it" but the
file is still there every time I run a scan! I am just going crazy and I
am scared that it can take my passwords so it is holding me back from my
work! The Panda scan which is the most useful product I have ever used
can't even locate these files!

Again, thanks so much for all your diligence and help and please let me
know what I can potentially do to fix this problem. To avoid using
internet explorer, I am using my AOL as it seems to be separate from the
Windows internet explorer. Thanks again!

Your computer is still infected and there is probably a guardian rootkit. At
this point, either get guided help at one of the specialty forums below OR
back up your data and do a clean install of Windows. It is your choice. If
you are unsure how to back up your data or how to do a clean install, you
can take your machine to a local computer professional. I don't recommend
using BigComputerStore/GeekSquad types of places.

PLEASE DO NOT POST LOGS IN THE MS NEWSGROUPS.

search & destroy, and then your Anti-virus.
