No one antispyware program removes all malware. I have no idea if WD can
remove Vundo. Here are general malware removal steps to go through
first and then specific removal steps to remove Vundo-type infections:

Questions about Windows Defender should be posted in the WD newsgroup,
not this one:
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/newsgroups/default.mspx
These newsgroups can be accessed via NNTP or HTTP.
To access these newsgroups using NNTP, please use the following
information for your NNTP client (such as Microsoft Outlook Express):
- NNTP Server: privatenews.microsoft.com
- Account name: privatenews\spyware
- Password: spyware
NOTE: No password will be required via the HTTP link.
When all else fails, run HijackThis and post your log in one of the
specialty forums listed at the link above (not here, please).
If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting
this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a professional
computer repair shop (not your local version of BigStoreUSA).
