Trojan:Win32/Vundo.gen!AW is the generic detection for components of Win32/Vundo - a multiple-component family of programs that deliver 'out of context' pop-up advertisements. They may also download and execute arbitrary files.

Win32/Vundo is often distributed as a DLL file and installed on an affected computer as a Browser Helper Object (BHO) without a user's consent. This family uses advanced defensive and stealth techniques to escape detection and to hinder removal.

For more information, please see the Win32/Vundo analysis elsewhere in the Microsoft Malware Protection Center encyclopedia.
