The only antivirus software I was running is AVG 9.0 on Vista Ultimate 32-bit.
I've also tried the following programs: Norton 360, Lavasoft Ad-Aware, Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, Spybot Search & Destroy, HiJackThis, SUPERAntiSpyware Pro, Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool, Avast!, and Webroot Spy Sweeper + Antivirus. Not to mention, also tried a couple of outdated programs designed specifically for the vundo trojan.
AVG is the only one that can detect it, but fails to even forcefully remove it. Malwarebytes did find other trojans and successfully cleaned them, so now I'm still stuck with only vundo.KA ... I should also mention that some Google-analytics files "ga.js" and "urchin.js" have been reported by AVG to be infected, while everything else says they are ok.
Anyways, I'm now starting to see some new posts about this latest vundo trojan variation on other sites... so hopefully it won't be long until virus definitions are updated.
I now use a combo of Malwarebytes and Spybot along with AVG which seems to help keep the popups and link redirects to a minimum for me.... but I didn't have them running when I generated the following .log file. It's totally pointless, but thought I'd go ahead and share it anyways.

I really don't need any replies to this message at all, I'm just doing this to help spread awareness of this new trojan. I'm gonna format and start all over again - and I'll definitely refrain from using IE again!
