Hi,

I have managed, (I think), to get rid of the virtumonde virus which I somehow obtained - by doing various scans/removals with the "system restore" option turned off. The scans are showing no sign of virtumonde - but I am left with a problem.

I keep getting explorer.exe pop ups which are trying to make a connection to the Internet. I dare not go online as I don't know what it is trying to connect to.

Residue of the virus seems to be still there and has taken over explorer.exe ???

How do I clean up. Should I restore the PC, (seems a bit drastic).
