Peter,

Apologies again. I was to post a reply ages ago but I have only got round to
getting the kids PC hooked up to the internet this evening. The phone point
didnt work in their room so I brought it down to my room and connected all.

Anyway I carried out the instructions but to no avail. The problem is that I
cant get rid of the VX2 thingy. I downloaded the tool from lavasoft and ran
it a few times but to no avail.
I reinstalled Adaware and downloaded the VX2 tool again but still no good.

Apart from that issue I ran updates on Spybot and installed and ran the MS
Antispyware and the AVG anti virus programme.

I did detect and delete some other stuff but the old VX2 remains.

If you get this maybe you may have some other ideas

Thanks again

Declan
 
Declan,

Pls try download the VX2 cleaner Add-on from lavasoft and run it:

Below is the message from lavasoft in text format, pls post back if you
can't view the information from the above link in html format:


VX2 CLEANER
Lavasoftî–¸ new add-on VX2 Cleaner detects the malware VX2 and offers you the
ability to remove it from your computer. Some users have experienced a very
difficult variant of VX2 which cannot be removed by Ad-Aware. For those users
which have this variant, we have developed an add-on to help you remove this
VX2 variant.



This VX2 variant registers itself in a way, which gives it system
privileges. It also prevents the user from viewing this information by
removing the user’s rights to do so. Furthermore it constantly monitors the
registry and prevents any attempts to remove its associated values. This
makes it very difficult for the user to manually remove it.



The VX2 Cleaner works with all editions of Ad-Aware.




How to use Lavasoftî–¸ VX2 Cleaner add-on

lose Ad-Aware and Ad-Watch (if running)
Download the free VX2 Cleaner here
Install the VX2 Cleaner
tart Ad-Aware
o to dd-ons?br> elect the VX2 Cleaner add-on and click un Tool?br> If
your computer isn’t infected, click “Closeâ€.



If your computer is infected

Select “Clean Systemâ€
Reboot your computer
Scan your computer with Ad-Aware
Remove any VX2 objects detected
Reboot your computer again
Run a second scan to make sure the files have been removed from your computer

More information on VX2 can be found in the TAC database




Pls post back to NG for the outcome.
