Windows 7 Artist

What is the name of the song that plays on the Windows 7 Commercial?

The one with the little Asian girl making a slide show and stuff about Windows 7. It seems like a techno song but I could be wrong. Name and artist please.

You might be able to find it out by watching it on the Windows YouTube Channel, as youtube often displays the song and let's you buy it: http://www.youtube.com/user/WindowsVideos

The virtumonde virus is a variant of the Vundo Trojan family. Virtumonde is one of the most prevalent and persistent viruses and it could possibly be described as being the ultimate virus. It has the ability to protect itself and it constantly monitors any attempts to destroy it thus making it one of the most difficult problems to tackle. It has the ability also to offer up completely random names for it's files making them hard to detect.

It has proved completely unassailable in the face of attack from many of the popular Anti-Spyware programs as they are only able to detect the infection but when it comes to removing or quarantining the virus they are proved redundant.

There are many symptoms of the virtumonde virus but the main ones are adware pop-ups appearing with annoying regularity. The browser can suddenly redirect you to websites containing advertisements and malicious scripts. It can change your PC's wallpaper, screensaver and disable some of your desktop's tabs. It can also disable Task Manager and Registry Editor in its attempts to prevent its removal.

Virtumonde loads a dll file into the computers memory which ensures that it is always running. A special module monitors every process and restores the virus whenever a program such as an Anti-Virus tries to close it down. A self-restoring mechanism allows virtumonde to restore its associated files if some of them are removed by security programs which means that the next time the computer is rebooted the virus returns fully functioning.

The main files that are integrated with Windows Explorer and Winlogon processes make virtumonde very resistant and difficult to remove. Many of the popular Windows Security Suites from some of the worlds biggest software manufacturers often cannot break the tight linking of the malware to the critical components of a computer.

This explains why specific steps and usually more than one virtumonde removal tool are required to disinfect a computer.

Firstly, it is necessary to unload the malware from the system memory. Secondly the registry entries and keys relating to the virus need to be deleted. Finally the malicious files should be permanently erased from the system.

All this has to be done in one Windows session without restarting otherwise the virtumonde dll virus will restore itself to its previous state.

I recently had to remove virtumonde from my own computer after it became infected following a video codec download. If your own computer has become infected you can read the exact steps that I took to remove the virtumonde dll virus here.
