Icedrake Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I got this thing when I was working in a middle of something and it said Buffer Overflow, Explorer will now be terminated. What the heck is this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humpty Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 What happened after the warning and what app were you using at the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icedrake Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 I was using IE8 and Explorer restarted after the warning. I'm doing a SuperAntiSpyware scan right now and it's found 18 Vundo threats so far. Is there anyway to completely remove the Vundo threats?

Humpty Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Let SAS do it's job then run a scan with Vundofix.exe to see if it picks up any dregs. Might be advisable to post a hijackthis log as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icedrake Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 I already posted a HJT log and Rridgley told me to run a VundoFix scan, but it didn't find anything when I ran it. SuperAntiSpyware removed abou half of the spyware but there's still: Adware.Vundo Variant/Resident Trojan.Vundo Variant/Small Adware.Vundo Variant/Rel These keep coming back, no matter what I do.

Humpty Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 They might reside within a system restore point where they can't be deleted. The only way is to turn system restore off to purge all infected restore points then turn it back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icedrake Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 I know how to delete the most recent Restore Point, so I'll delete that and try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted May 24, 2008 Moderators Share Posted May 24, 2008 Icedrake, can I advise you strongly to follow rridgely's instructions in your hjt log thread. Humpty wasn't aware that you had posted a log when he advised you. If you are doing things in between without him knowing what you are doing, it may alter his advice.

Humpty Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Oopsies, yep Ice, best to stick with RR as sorting these types of infections can be quite bothersome especially if a new variant has hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators DennisD Posted May 24, 2008 Moderators Share Posted May 24, 2008 Thouest must stoppeth visitingeth thine porne sites. The term Elf abuse springs to mind, but I fear a mod may remove this random thought. EDIT: Only kiddin' of course Ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
