Ok, my computer is all screwed up, or so i think it is. run a Windows defender scan and it says i have a Severe Trojan virus called: Trojan:Win32/Vundo/gen!L and i press “apply actions” a window then pops up saying that it needs to send some info to Microsoft to gain information about the things to further the effectiveness of windows defender. so i do send the information and it says it encountered a problem “one or more actions could not be completed successfully”. So i check for updates as it recommends and there is none. great I’m screwed. so i then go to my McAfee and do a scan, the scan stops in the middle of it and shuts down the McAfee program Wonderful what now? So then i notice on Internet explorer that is i type something in to google say Myspace and click on the myspace link it directs me to a totally different site such as Elle magazine ?!?! i have no idea whats going on is that caused my the virus?
next i look up best Anti-virus softwares and find Spyware Doctor… and i just found out i have a shit load of threats and infections T_T
10 threats and 344 infections to be exact i have 2 highs, 2 mediums ,4 lows, and 2 “info & PUAs” great, great now im stuck.
ok now time to solve the problem what do you recommend me doing? buying a anti-virus software such as Spyware doctor?
please help thanks.
ps one of the things is a backdoor.agent?!?!

If you are still having trouble, download Malwarebyte http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php . Do a quick scan
Download Superantispyware http://www.superantispyware.com/downloadfile.html?productid=SUPERANTISPYWAREFREE . Do a full scan. These are 2 free anti-spywares you can keep.
If you want, an anti-virus, download Anti-Vir http://www.free-av.com/en/download/1/avira_antivir_personal__free_antivirus.html or avast http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html
I would not recommend AVG 8.0 for now since there are lots of false positives for now.

I agree with Soccer Dave on this one, Malwarebytes being one of the very best free tools to use in such situations. You don’t need to buy anything, there are plenty of good quality free tools available.
Also try VundoFix:
http://www.symantec.com/content/en/us/global/removal_tool/threat_writeups/FixVundo.exe
Disconnect your computer from the internet
Run vundo
Restart your computer
Run the tool again to ensure no traces are left.
If there are the reboot into Safe Mode and run FixVundo again
Spybot S&D:
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html
Download, install, update and Immunize, then click ‘Check for problems’ then when complete select all and then ‘Fix Checked’
