When I scan for viruses on my computer, the report says that a trojan named Vundo.gen.w has been quarantined. My computer has been slow and I have been getting a lot of pop-up full-screen ads, so I have been scanning every night, and this trojan is always being found. How do I eliminate it? Any ideas?
