I sure could use some help with a computer virus

I really hope you're now in the clear with this virus, John, but Wikipedia says it attacks the Malwarebytes program, too.

I "think" I have it removed. I downloaded a free copy of a program called "SpyWare Doctor" by PC Tools. This sucker told me I had 192 malware items and for only $49 bucks, it would remove them.

That chapped my backside royally. It says I have this problem and it can remove it for a fee. Funny, ran four other similar programs and they aren't finding 192 items. I am HIGHLY suspicious that this program is THAT much better than the others.

John, be cafeful about those programs that promise to remove viruses and stuff for a fee. Quite a few of them are snake oil and the only thing they're designed to remove is money from your wallet.

Combofix, bleepingcomputer.com (If you have a 32bit OS)
MBAM, get it at download.com
Spybot

Run them in safe mode with networking and you should be able to get rid of it. Use a program like CCleaner to get rid of all of the excess files, also found at Download.Com

After you are done with that, run a regular scan with your Antivirus and clean up anything left.

I still have it. I ran Combofix and something called GMER. GMER shows something in one of he sectors. Everything shows clean except for the SpyBot sweep. It keeps showing the Virtumonde.dll being present. However, it must be hidden. I can't find it in the location shown by SB. SB will delete it, but the next time you boot, it is back.

At least the registry seems to be fixed, I think am getting closer.
