A Trojan Has Passworded My Computer

My computer was attacked by a Trojan Vundo 3 days ago. all efforts to remove it failed. Surprisingly it has passworded my computer. Please what can I do? Now I cannot use the system because it is passworded. What do I do? please help.

Why you accept opening unsuspected strange link, download file, or CD that you do not know what is contained inside the hidden virus file spreading to your computer/laptop?

NEVER OPEN STRANGE LINK that you DO NOT KNOW!!!  Often junk multiple PORN sites pop-up WITHOUT ANTI-VIRUS PROTECTION installed on your computer system that contains inside virus downloaded file you want to crack something.

You learn the lesson the painfully remove the virus attack "Trojan Vundo" on your computer!

please i'll advice to call on an engineer to ficks the problem for,which i think am cappable of doing my number is 08026220123 olawale.

I thank you all for your wonderful advices, BUT I still cannot log in to my system! it has now been PASSWORDED by a virus. What options do I have, since I can't log in either my name or as admnistrator even in SAFE MODE? What would an enginneer do?

CADE, are you familier with System Setup?

If you are not, please don't follow this procedure.

You need to remove the Hard drive.

Study the drive to know how to position the jumper on the pin to make it a slave.

You will need another full functioning PC.

Open its casing and proceed to the Board.

Note: The other harddisk is already in Master don'r touch it.

Connect the IDE cable to your hard drive. Here is a Quicky: http://compreviews.about.com/od/tutorials/ss/DIYSecHD_6.htm

Start your PC and go into System Setup

If you don't know anything here please do not go further.

Set the drive to IDE(n) whatever comes after the Master.

e.g If the Master is IDE 0, Slave may be IDE1 or 2.

Go back to the first page on the System setup and Save the changes made.

Your system will restart and go all the way to the desktop.

Note: Before you attempt the process above you must have installed Spyware Terminator and ClamWin.

Make sure it is up to date. And enable its Shield to protect the other hard disk from been infected.

And as an addition the system must have a good Anti-virus e.g Avast or AVG - is manageable but it is not the best you can find.

I am very sure Spyware Terminator's Real Shield will detect it.

Just go ahead and scan, "Quick Scan" for a start.

Scan with the Anti-Virus.

When you are done scanning shut down, disconnect and then return the Jmper back to its former position.

Reconnect and then start your computer.


OR If you don't want to go through all the stress.

You can Backup all your files and format the Hard drive to re-instal a fresh Windows on your System.

But before you send back your files you have to do a thorough scan.

IF YOU FIND ALL THAT STUFF TO CONFUSING PLEASE TAKE YOUR COMPUTER TO AN ENGINEER.

@mcmsat.Can you be of help if the problem is "Bios password" in Toshiba satellite laptop.Dual core and window vista?Thanks

note that there's nothing there about how a trojan can 'password' the system

maybe i'm wrong, but i think all these peeps probably bought stolen computers. one weekend, when i was working in the office,, a security guard brought a laptop and asked me to show him how to put it on. makes you wonder. . .
Lol!  no mind am o jare.  Hin don create another name--wasn't that the same Toshiba notebook he thinks BIOS passwords are only present in?  The trojan Vundo has nothing to do with BIOS password but rather creates a popup advertisement that fakes the sale of antivirus/antispyware tools.  Just like oyb, I think all these BIOS password tales are bologna!
