Vundo
Ok guys. How it got there I haven't a clue. Norton can't seem to get rid of it and McAfee had a sequence you went through but that still didn't seem to do it. I still get a pop-up from "I think it's called" winfix, machine slows down and is simply a pain sometimes. Is there anything I can do or is it time to back-up and reformat ?? Adaware daily finds 10 - 15 things and Spy-Bot finds a couple. Norton says it found Vundo and archived it. Bad part about a reformat is that I've got over a thousand songs on here and hundreds of pictures.

Good luck with your problem.
As a side note, you will eventually have to reformat anyway, so if it has to be now it may as well be. Start planning on how you will go about doing this now or when the time comes. Figure out where to put the songs and other files while you reformat.

You can also run AdAware when windows starts, if AdAware finds this on a normal scan but can't delete it then running the scan when windows starts will allow AdAware to delete the offending file.
