Boy, this Virtumonde is a persistent son of a gun. First two weeks
ago and they again yesterday. My computer started to make slight groaning noise yesterday PM, I turned it off because I was too busy to cope. Came back and did a Spybot scan and there it was:
Virtumonde.sdn
Two weeks ago it was Virtumonde.prx.

Spybot said it got rid of it but I did a scan with Malwarebytes just in case. Do I have to change important passwords again?

1. When removing virus or malware
always try to run it in "boot" scan or "safe mode" for windows. Boot scan is preferred because only a few files are in use. Safe mode is the next preferred environment to run scans. If you download a trial version of avast or are using it already it does a pretty good boot scan.
