I picked up that Vundo/Virtomundo and the Antivirus 2009 virus a few weeks ago on my laptop at home and promptly ordered in a flash drive to back up my important stuff before I wipe the machine. I'm going to try to run some of the anti-virus programs mentioned in this thread to see if I can clear it up (defender, vundofix and kasperski either couldn't find it or couldn't remove it). I've got a new desktop coming in tomorrow and after reading these horror stories I'm worried about transferring my documents over from my laptop via flashdrive. Are there any precautions I should take before transferring my files?
