Detects the malware VX2 and offers you the ability to remove.

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 a plug-in 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.

VX2 Cleaner plug-in:
- Close Ad-Aware and Ad-Watch (if running)
- Download the free VX2 Cleaner here
- Install the VX2 Cleaner
- Start Ad-Aware
- Go to “Plug-ins”
- Select the VX2 Cleaner plug-in and click “Run Plugin”
- If your computer isn’t infected, click “Close”.
