How to remove Packed Win32.Monder.gen?


Virtumonde is an adware skipped by most antivirus programs .

When I ran a Kaspersky scan recently,it detected win32.monder.gen which cannot be disinfected or deleted.

I googled and found out that there is a fix for this adware using F-secure v-mode.zip.

I couldn't download this file.Here is a way of removing this adware

Win32.Monder.Gen resides in System Volume Information folder,where restore points are stored.I turned off System Restore and ran a Disk cleanup.Kaspersky scan did not show any adware in my system.

Win32.Monder.gen gets into our system from Torrent downloads.It reduces system speed,throws pop-up ads and sends anonymous mails from our mail ID.

Readers who have a similar experience with win32.monder.gen can pitch in their comments via comment form.

How to Turn off System restore and run a Disk cleanup.

1.Click on Start and go to run.Type cleanmgr in the text box.Choose your Hard disk drives and check on all radio buttons and start clean up.Disk cleanup deletes all system restore points except the most recent one.

2.Now right click on My Computer icon on desktop and click on properties.Select system restore tab in the pop up window.Uncheck the radio button Turn off system restore.Restart your computer and run a virus scan.Don't forget to turn on system restore after adware removal.
