I intend to take screenshots of Task Manager. Before I take it on the internet.I'll start the programs installed such as Office, Windows Movie Maker and so on so that I'll know what their entries are. And "shoot" them.Also screenshots of the entries from it's first trip on the internet. My AV's also.That will give me a list for comparison. Then I'll know if spooky entries starts running. If they were not on my screenshots of new clean PC then what are they doing there now?I intend to keep it updated and "screenshoot" every new app I install.But: can such lists be found somewhere? Lists of legit entries in Task Manager? Would make my mission a lot more qualified. :lol: I’m about to get a new PC with Windows 7 on it. I intend to take screenshots of Task Manager.

First let me thank you for all the great information.Second, I have run (in this order) my mcafee system, ccleaner, super antispyware, malwarebytes, and when I run a mcAfee scan it says the PC is clean, which seems odd because as I understand it, none of these removal tools hit the rootkits. Am I wrong?I downloaded hijackthis, should I also run that?Also many people tell me to run combofix and/or vundofix. Combofix seems way beyond my level of expertise, and I dont want to deal with reloading my OS if I screw this up.Finally, I am completely comfortable paying (at this point) for anti-malware programs that will definitively get rid of the vundo trojan - are there any?

It will be interesting to compare Shadow Defender with Returnil that you previously reviewed. I'm sure your subscribers will like to know about this new virtualization software.

It's a virtualization software similar to Returnil, but that one doesn't have an antivirus bundled with it. It seems to be light on resources and efective. Is there any chance you do a review about it?Thanks in advance. Matt,
