O.k. gang,
So, I got into safemode by pressing F8. Black screen came up with no desktop. Brought up Task Manager (Ctl, Alt, Del) then navigated to my desk top (File, New Task, Browse button) and started the removal tool. After removal tool ran it reported that no trojan.Vundo.B had been detected. Then, I ran a full scan (Norton) in safemode, since I was already in that mode; again, through Task Manager. The scan revealed one virus - yes, that's right folks that Vundo.B bug! I deleted it, restarted and went back to normal mode but, I still got the same red flag virus alert message.
The Symantec website suggests that when persistent messages appear it could be that Windows may be using the file. Symantec also reccomended that if after using the scan in safemode and messages still appeared then the next step is to delete the value from the registry. Well, I still get the virus alert message so I guess that's my next step :-/
It gave some specific subkeys to delete:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWATE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\[Trojan file name]
HKEY_LOCAL-MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{44240BB5-BD7D-4D49-A1AA-8AB0F3D3CB44}
HKEY-LOCAL-MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\urrentVersion\Explorer\Browser Je;[er Pbkects\{_44240BB5-BD7D-4D49-A1AA-8AB0F3D3CB44}
"Is it safe?" to delete?
