I've been attempting to remove the Vundo Trojan from a computer, and thanks to to the instructions from another website http://www.virusspy.com/spyware/removewinfixer.html I think I've managed to actually get rid of it. I'd say I followed the instructions given with about 90% accuracy, (one of the programs wouldn't run in safe mode). Well after all is said and done the only thing I have left to do is finish up with HijackThis. None of the scanners are finding the actual Trojan anymore, however I am getting two new error messages upon startup every time. They are both RUNDLL error messages saying "Error loading C:\WINDOWS\System32\vyaqfgmb.dll The specified module could not be found." And actually the second error message is identical except it's looking for the file ssxjwpvi.dll in the same folder. I googled both of those file names and got nothing at all.
They look to me like incorrect registry entries, or remnants of the recently removed infection. Are the steps necessary to ridding these error messages tied to successfully using HijackThis? If so here is the log from HJT along with the results from AVG Anti-Spyware, as requested by 'Stein
