Got the VX2 Adware and CANT Get Rid of it!

Please follow all the steps in this Sticky thread < READ ME FIRST: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal >

If you already have any of the programs linked in the tutorial please double check your version to make sure you have the latest one and that you have any/all updates for the programs.

By the way a new VX2 cleaner plugin for Ad-aware SE is available at: http://download.lavasoft.de.edgesuite.net/public/plvx2cleaner.exe

NOTE: In order to resolve the issues you are having it is very important that you at least try to perform all the steps as outlined. If you have any difficulty please post back letting us know what steps you have completed, what you found while doing the scans if anything and details about any problems you have encountered in completing the steps. The more details you can provide the better.

NOTE: You should read the tutorial in this Sticky thread < Hijack This Tutorial And How To Post Your Log File > Do not post a HijackThis log until we ask you to and when we do it must be text document attachment to your message.

Update! Due to Hijack This logs destroying search engine and web site searches, we now ask you do not post your Hijack This log file unless requested by us. It is for advanced users, so if you do not understand how to use it, you do not need it....yet. Instead, please tell us in your post what symptoms you are experiencing so we can try and resolve it that way. When, and if, we ask you to post your log file, please attach it as a file. To do this save the log file and select manage attachments in a new thread to upload it. All running programs should be closed, including your web browser, e-mail, items in the tray, anything you can close... Close before running Hijack This!


Do NOT run Hijack This from the Desktop, a temp folder or choose run from the download. Place it in its own folder, for example C:\Program Files\HJT

 

The link I gave you for the Ad-aware SE VX2 Cleaner was broken. I fixed it.

Edit: What version of Ad-aware are you running? Is it Ad-aware SE 1.03?

 

Do you still have the below line in your HJT log:
O3 - Toolbar: Computer Lady Toolbar - {D6223CBC-A263-4CB1-B35E-1AE40FEF3B3B} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\ietoolbar.dll

If so we will need to work on this.

From a command prompt enter the following commands:
cd c:\windows\system32
regsvr32.exe /u ietoolbar.dll

Now restart your PC then go back and try to delete: C:\WINDOWS\System32\ietoolbar.dll
Also look for ietoolbar.htm and popup.wav and delete them from the same directory.

Also check the 'Downloaded Program Files' directory in the Windows folder, right-click the '{FFFFFFFFFFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFFFFFF}' entry entry and remove it (if found).

Then run HijackThis and have it fix the O3 line given above.
