Trojan.Vundo is a component of an adware program that downloads and displays popup advertisements. You've probably installed it by visiting a Web site link contained in a spammed email.

You can download a removal tool at this Symantec page.

the removal tool doesn't detect it, even when the warning notice is displayed right on the screen

maybe try using LavaSoft Ad-Aware, Spybot Search and Destroy, and MS AntiSpyware.

Between those three, not too many things get left behind.

We had some stuff get our home computer over the summer and we tried all of those. Some of the spyware that's out there now is almost impossible to get rid of and in the end we had to wipe out our hard drive and start over.
