One Care Failed to Get Rid of Trojan:Win32/Vundo.gen!H RRS feed

  • Question

  • I bought a new XP laptop and paid for OneCare subscription until June 2009 to protect my system. Unfortunately, I discovered a Trojan:Win32/Vundo.gen!H that OneCare could not remove.

    I was able to run a support log. It reported the actual source but when I reached the destination, the files were not there. Here's my partial report

    Can you provide me whats the size of the file C:\RECYCLER\S-1-5-21-107935127-2508217097-2308573282-1006\Dc648.rar

     

    Also can you provide me the details logs to know more about the remove failure.

     

    To do that follow the following instructions

     

     

    Can you send me the following file at my email id montyj@microsoft.com

    If you are using Vista

    c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\OneCare Protection\Support\MPLOG*(some file which starts with MPLOG) (This is if you have vista)

     

    If you are using Win XP

    c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\OneCare Protection\Support\MPLOG*(some file which starts with MPLOG) (This is if you have win xp)

     

    Note : These are hidden so you have to make sure that you enable show hidden files and folders
