Vista - Got nailed with Vundo, leftover rundll error

Got nailed with Vundo, leftover rundll error

Damn babysitter hit some game sites, and I wound up with Vundo. I have cleaned out the bulk of it, yet I continue to get a rundll error. Something is calling womayovi.dll, which is associated with Vundo. My understanding is that Vundo alters winlogon.exe, and I've tried everything I can think of to clean it out.

My last resort is to reload Vista, which I am loathe to do. I know that Vundo has been effectively neutered, the error pop-up is just a PITA.

And yes, I've since effectively neutered the babysitter and have enhanced security on the machine....

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Malwarebytes works good. You need to set up your babysitter with a user account that can't install stuff.

Many thanks for the quick reply, I'll give it a shot. As for the babysitter, I've password protected the PC so she has NO access at all....

Re: Got nailed with Vundo, leftover rundll error

Tried Malwarebytes, it reported Vundo. I quarantined and deleted. Rebooted and I continue to get the following RunDLL error:

Error loading c:\ProgramData\womayovi\womayovi.dll
The specified module could not be found

That particular directory is gone, I deleted it a month ago. Something keeps calling that dll file, my understanding is that it could be winlogon.exe, or explore.exe

Any other suggestions? Thanks!
