Trojan Vundo Removal and Solution

Trojan Vundo Removal
I tried a number of programs, including HijackThis, Trend's online virus scanner, Panda Software's online virus scanner, Symantec's FixVundo.exe and manual instructions and nothing worked! I thought I had it when I ran SpyBot Search and Destroy's software, but it only discovered 4 occurrences of the Vundo when actually there were 6.

Out of all the programs, only Adware Alerts spyware & adware detector and destroyer was able to detect all the infected files! The online virus scan site is located at:
Adware Alert and is a new free services designed to help you detect and keep your computer clean. It's very cool, speeds up your pc and is worth checking out!

Adware, Spyware and Computer Virus

Adware, spyware and computer virus share some similarities, one of which is that all three aremajor nuisances for computer users. Let's differentiate the three.

Spyware is software that does not intentionally harm your computer. What they do is that they create pathways wherein someone else aside from the computer owner can communicate with the computer. Normally spywares record the various types of web sites you visit which are later used by web advertisers to allow them to send you unwanted emails and pop-ups.
