Ok I got the Vundo Trojan on my computer and I need a way to remove it. In my taskbar where the clock is a balloon will pop up saying my system as been infected the first time this happen I click on this and then something popped up in Internet Explorer that claimed to scan it using some Anti Vurus thing but its a Fraud.I managed to delete the fraud virus software, but each time I log on to my computer I still get the balloon in my task bar. Also when I do anything in Internet explorer pop ups keep popping up but since i managed to remove some of it the pop-ups are still happening, but less frequently. Usually I get pop ups advertising for a registry scanner and other types of scanners. My IE homepage has been changed. After much research I found out its the Vundo Trojan.  Nothing I do removes it. I have installed and updated Spybot Search & Destroy and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. It detects things but I'm not sure it removes it because in Malware it'll put it in quarantine when I remove them then as me to restart. I restart and re-scan only to find that Malware detected the same infection. In Spybot  It'll detect things, but it cannot fix them even after re-starts and re-scans.I need a way to COMPLETELY remove it for free.


I just need it gone. Whoever helps me will get points.

I did. It didn't remove anything. I remove everything, re-scan and still the same detections pop up.
