    There is a newer procedure than using the older L2MeFix Tool which started having problems working towards the last half of 2005. Thus the original L2MeFix procedure is now replace by the procedure in message number 2 using Look2Me-Destroyer

    If you are having reports of problems related to a Look2Me VX2 infection and cannot fix it with normal scanning tools. Follow the steps below.

    Please download Look2Me-Destroyer.exe to your desktop.
    • Close all windows before continuing.
    • Double-click Look2Me-Destroyer.exe to run it.
    • Put a check next to Run this program as a task.
    • You will receive a message saying Look2Me-Destroyer will close and re-open in approximately 1 minute. Click OK
    • When Look2Me-Destroyer re-opens, click the Scan for L2M button, your desktop icons will disappear, this is normal.
    • Once it's done scanning, click the Remove L2M button.
    • You will receive a Done Scanning message, click OK.
    • When completed, you will receive this message: Done removing infected files! Look2Me-Destroyer will now shutdown your computer, click OK.
    • Your computer will then shutdown.
    • Turn your computer back on.
    • Please post the contents of C:\Look2Me-Destroyer.txt
    If Look2Me-Destroyer does not reopen automatically, reboot and try again.

    If you receive a message from your firewall about this program accessing the internet please allow it.

    If you receive a runtime error '339' please download MSWINSCK.OCX from the link below and place it in your C:\Windows\System32 Directory.
