How to Remove Vundo MSFake Variant

Vundos spread through email messages, file sharing networks and unsafe download links. Infections from Vundo variants are extremely common and should be removed immediately as they lower your security settings, leaving your computer susceptible to even more malware infections. Use the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool to locate and remove the Vundo MSFake infection on your computer. Microsoft includes the removal tool in the Windows operating system specifically to remove Vundo infections.
