Post subject: Vundo, Abetear won't go away
Archived from groups: alt>comp>anti-virus (more info?)

My main anti virus client is Zone Alarm. The signatures are always up to
date. For the last couple weeks, the program has found & treated
multiple instances of "vundo", abetear", & sometimes "darksma". The
program always says they have been treated and no further action is
neccessary, But it continues, and continues. As a result, I have
run the "Multi AV command line utility" repeatedly both in safe &
regular mode. The various signatures for "Sophos", "Trend", "Kaspersy"
etc all update each time, but the problem continues. I have also run the
"Vundo Fix" utility, that didn't find anything, but then the
Zone Alarm window pops up w/ addition instances, all being treated, but
it just won't go away.
I have had to boot to "last known good config..." twice, & use restore
points several times just to boot up. The only other symptom, is the web
browser will open extra windows when left alone....sometimes a 404, &
sometimes "sexbuddies" in the address bar & a script error on the page.
