Because you didn't quote any of the previous thread and provided
absolutely no details about your problem, no one knows what you are
talking about. This is one of the side effects of using the dreadful MS
web interface to these newsgroups instead of a real newsreader. Below
find 1) general Vundo removal steps 2) information about Usenet and how
to set up a newsreader (very easy).

A. Vundo removal (please note that all of the tools used for Vundo
removal are *free* so I am not "promoting" anything except general
computer cleanliness):

Do the preparatory steps here:
http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

Then do the specific removal steps here:
http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Winfixer - Winfixer

You can also check to see if there are targeted removal steps for your
malware here:

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/forum55.html

When all else fails, run HijackThis and post your log in one of the
specialty forums listed at the first link above (not here, please).

Not all tools used will work in Vista and you will need to run them
elevated. If you are unable to remove the infection by following the
general steps, register at one of the HijackThis forums as suggested.

Standard caveat: If the procedures look too complex - and there is no
shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a
professional computer repair shop (not your local version of
BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Please be aware that not all local shops
are skilled at removing malware and even if they are, your computer may
be so infested that Windows will need to be clean-installed. Have all
your data backed up before you take the machine into a shop.

B. Information about Usenet:

Since you are using the web interface, you may not realize that this is
really a newsgroup. You will get far more out of this resource if you
learn to use a newsreader. There are many good newsreaders for Windows,
but you can use Outlook Express (XP) or Windows Mail (Vista) since you
already have it. Here are some links to information about newsgroups:

That's old information at best and is not in English.
The older data is NOT helpful with the latest, morphed, versions of Vundo.
