How to remove Vundo Trojan with CESAM Anti-Malware

1. First you should click on the "Settings" button in the top menu and change the value for Disable objects using the driver option to Always, as it is shown below:

2. Now look through the list of the objects and find the randomly-named .DLL files under the following registry keys:

Internet Explorer section:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser Helper Objects

Winlogon section:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify

Explorer section:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellExecuteHooks

Randomly-named .DLL files means something like that: nnnkLcCU.dll, opNdccDV.dll, hgGxyXQH.dll, yfcfqtfd.dll, cbxvttsR.dll, pmnkLCSk.dll. And these files should be located in the WINDOWS\system32 directory.

Use the CESAM Online Malware Scanner function, if you have problems with finding the right ones:

Some versions of the trojan could be also located under the following registry keys:

AppInit DLLs section:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows

Logon section:
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

LSA Providers section:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa

3. Disable the trojan entries by removing the checkmarks in the checkboxes next to these randomly-named .DLL files. You should disable all of the malware entries before the next step. If something will be left behind, it could restore all the rest entries after the system reboot.

4. Once you have finished with the disabling the items, press the Apply button:
