What Is The Vundo Trojan / Virus aka Trojan.Vundo?

Vundo, or the Vundo Trojan (also known as Virtumonde or Virtumondo and sometimes referred to as MS Juan & Trojan.Vundo) is a Trojan horse that is known to cause popups and advertising for rogue antispyware programs, and sporadically other misbehavior including performance degradation and denial of service with some websites including Google.

The most obvious sign of infection are the pop ups. Vundo will cause the infected web browser to pop up advertisements; many of which claim a need for software to fix system "deterioration". The user’s desktop background is changed to the image of an installation window saying there is adware on the computer. The screensaver is also changed to the Blue Screen. When the user tries to change the background and screensaver back to their original by going to the Display Properties, the background and screensaver tabs are missing because their "Hide" values in the Registry were changed to 1. Both the background and screensaver are in the System32 folder, however the screensaver cannot be deleted. Windows automatic updates may also be disabled and it is not possible to turn them back on

Infected DLLs (with randomized names such as "__c00369AB.dat") will be present in the Windows/System32 folder and references to the DLLs will be found in the user’s start up (viewable in MSConfig), registry, and as browser add ons in Internet Explorer.

Depending on the version of the virus the following symptoms may or may not be present:

Vundo may attempt to prevent the user from removing it or otherwise impede its operation, such as by disabling the task manager or Windows registry editor. Some firewalls or antivirus softwares may also be disabled by the virus leaving the system even more vulnerable. Another symptom of Vundo may be the desktop icons will disappear and so will the taskbar and reappear after a short period. This becomes very frustrating if you are trying to run programs or get access to your files as the process gets automatically aborted.

Web access may also be negatively affected. Vundo may cause many websites to be unaccessible; these websites may just hang. The hard drive may start to be constantly accessed by the winlogon process, thus periodic freezes may be experienced.

Symptoms may also include the disabling of Windows Automatic Updates or other web-based services.
