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 was a fix for this adware using F-secure v-mode.zip.

I couldn’t download this file and readers can try the above Fsecure link at their own discretion

However there is another 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.
