Error 0x8DDD0018 & Vundo

Thanks you all who have already posted about how to fix this issue. It
appears that my computer has been infected with the Vundo virus. I have an
anit-virus program, McAfee, and it has quaretined the virus; and I have
Spybot which says that it has erased the virus. Does anyone have any ideas
as to why Vundo would still be on my computer? Thanks!

Perhaps see:
http://www.microsoft.com/security/po...=Win32%2fVundo

Win32/Vundo is a multiple-component family of programs that deliver 'out of
context' pop-up advertisements. They may also download and execute arbitrary
files.
Vundo is often distributed as a DLL file and installed on an affected
machine as a Browser Helper Object (BHO) without a user's consent. This
family uses advanced defensive and stealth techniques to escape detection
and to hinder removal.

Spybot alone (nor any other anti-spyware applications, despite what you may
read in other threads here) cannot remove all traces of Vundo
infections...or the rootkit protecting it & and its friends.

1. See if you can download/run the MSRT manually:

2. Run this online scan (in safe mode w/networking, if need be):

3. Run additional checks for hijackware, including posting your hijackthis
log to an appropriate forum.

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use (in
conjuction with some other utilities). HijackThis will NOT fix anything on
its own, but it will help you to both identify and remove any
hijackware/spyware with assistance from an expert. **Post your log to

by an expert in such matters, not here.**

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.
