In the past few years there has been one virus on the internet that has destroyed countless computers and had their owners wondering how it all happened. The vundo.trojan virus has steadily infected computers all over the world at a great rate since its inception in 2005. Many experts state that over 50% of the computers connected to the computer without adequate antivirus protection were infected in 2008. The vundo Trojan is definitely a disaster for any computer, as it can literally destroy a computer in mere days, if not hours. I have personally had a lot of experience dealing with vundo over the years, and have staged many battles against the virus over the years and vundo has won a majority of the time. Vundo has taken over many names over the years of its existence and has hundreds of variations; virtuemonde, vundo, win32 vundo, MS Juan, virtumondo are just a few of the more popular stands infecting computers today.



The one fact about vundo that is concerning is that the most popular spyware programs on the market cannot remove the virus. Programs like Norton or McAfee can detect the threat and tell you when your computer is infected, but have problems actually neutralizing the threat of the Trojan. The problem that most people have when they get the virus is they think that since the virus was detected it should be taken care of by one of these programs, which most of the time is incorrect. These programs are very good at many things, but do not cut it when it comes to the vundo virus, probably because the virus was designed to withstand these programs that control most of the market.

Vundo spreads in a way that is hard to control, especially with the spread of p2p networks like limewire, kazza, and bittorrent.

You can get vundo in many ways, including:

?P2P (peer to peer) programs such as limewire, kazzaa, and ares are common sources of the virus. Fake music, movie, or codec files are uploaded and when they are opened on your computer automatically install vundo without your knowledge.

?Direct downloads from bad websites. Many sites will funnel you through to a download of the virus without your knowledge, many of these sites are of the adult nature and create pop ups and trouble for your computer. Some sites will not let you exit unless you download a file onto your computer, and these are extremely dangerous and account for many vundo problems.

?Emails from spammers. Many people will open the wrong email and get the vundo virus. Anti-spyware can generally regulate and check your emails for problems before they are opened.

?Other ways of getting vundo exist, but they all come from the internet in some way.

The Dangers of letting vundo have free reign over your computer are monumental, as it can download horrible files like key loggers that download important files from your computer and can lead directly to identity theft. It is extremely important to remove the virus completely and quickly to prevent any loss of data and the working order of your computer.
