I think a netbook I'm tasked with getting back into shape might have the Vundo/Virtumonde virus. I've run MS Security Essentials, Malwarebytes and Spybot but it's not spotting it.

I know this is a hard one to detect (and harder to remove). Before I go through the hassle of ordering system restore CDs (or just putting Ubuntu on this thing and being done with it) I wanted to be sure it, indeed, has this virus. Is there a spyware/anti-virus/malware app that is known to be able to detect the Vundo virus?

I've used VundoFix in the past. The UI isn't all that great, but it does it's job very well.

VundoFix is a freeware removal tool for many of the known variants of Trojan.Vundo, Trojan.Conhook and other similar infections.

I've been working on this tool for nearly 2 years constantly updating and improving the way it detects and removes the vundo infection.

Generally an updated version is released once a week and in some special cases sometimes 2 or 3 times in a week. The tool has had great success removing the infection from over 1 million computers to date and I hope to continue with that same success into the future.

IIRC combofix seems to do a good job removing it. I'd also give a few livecd AV apps a try using unetbootin
