Two phase answer...


Phase 1
------------
Download Adware-Virtumundo Removal Tool v1.5 --
http://secured2k.home.comcast.net/to...undoBeGone.exe

Information on the Adware-Virtumundo Removal Tool:
http://forums.mcafeehelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=57049

Phase 2
------------
Download WinFixerFix.exe from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/WinFixerFix.exe

Execute; WinFixerFix.exe { Note: You must accept the default of C:\McAfee }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your
FireWall to enable WGET.EXE to download the needed McAfee related files.

Execute; c:\mcafee\clean.bat
{ or Double-click on 'Clean Link' in c:\mcafee }

A final report in HTML format called C:\mcafee\ScanReport.HTML will be generated. At the
end of the scan, it will be displayed in your browser (Opera, FireFox or Internet Explorer).
It is suggested that you move the report out of c:\mcafee before performing another scan.
It would be a good idea to scan in Safe Mode and in Normal Mode and save a copy of the HTML
report for each session.

* * * Please report back your results * * *

Hello,

If you are looking for a simple to install, scan and reboot fix, you
may wish to try Super Ad Blocker with SUPERAntiSpyware. It will remove
WinFixer in all cases we have found:
http://www.superadblocker.com

Super Ad Blocker is designed to be quick and easy for end-users with no
complicated setup or configuration.

On a technical side, Super Ad Blocker | SUPERAntiSpyware offers several
unique features such as using a system level driver to delete detected
items, so pests do not come back once detected and cleaned.

Super Ad Blocker offers a fully functional 15-day trial. You can scan
and clean your computer and then remove Super Ad Blocker if you do not
wish to keep it. We do appreciate when users support our development
efforts by purchasing the product

If that does not find and/or remove the spyware/adware on your machine,
you can submit a diagnostic and I will diagnose your machine for free
and post the results back to the group and update our rules with
anything found:
http://www.superadblocker.com/diagnostic.html?id=nicks

You may also wish to "see" what is running on your computer he
