Virtumonde.dll problems

8 min read

This thread's last reply is from May 23, 2008, 12:03 PM UTC. Software, malware, and removal-tool advice below may be out of date — treat specific steps and download links with caution.

Hi. I can't get rid of Virtumonde.dll. Spybot S&D finds it every scan, but removal does not work. It's hitting me with popups and also seems to be blocking out several internet sites (including google search, which is annoying.)
HijackThis log as follows:

Hi. Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately I've been disobeying guidlines and continuing to screw with my computer - having killed this process:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [BM931b8bdc] Rundll32.exe "C:\WINDOWS\system32\dtmvykdg.dll",s
my computer now restarts and runs properly with no noticeable evidence of malware.

That being said, here is the Malwarebytes log.
*two caveats: a) it wouldn't connect to any of the three update sites, and b) it's a quick scan. I did a full scan after and found nothing. (and yes, my internet connection was active when I tried to update.)
