Please download Ad-aware SE (http://www.greyknight17.com/spyware.htm#adaware) and install it if you don't have it already. Make sure it's the newest version and check for any updates before running it. Go to http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/...2cleaner.shtml to get the plug-in for fixing VX2 variants. To run this tool, go into Ad-aware->Add-ons and select VX2 Cleaner. Then click Run Tool and OK to start it. If it's clean, it will say Status System Clean. Otherwise, you will have to click on the Clean button to remove the VX2 infection. Also make sure to customize (http://www.greyknight17.com/spyware.htm#adaware) the settings in Ad-aware for better scan results. Run the scan and fix everything that it finds.

Download Kill2Me (http://www.greyknight17.com/spy/Kill2Me.exe) and run it.

See if it's the VX2 infection is still there. If so, we will need to use another program.
