Problems at the start-up

orlandi · Oct 15, 2004

Hi guys, although everything seems to work well on my computer, two days ago I ran Ad-Aware SE Personal and I found two Vx2 alerts. The 2 corresponding exe files ought to be in the system32 but they are not there...
I'm sure something in the reg happens at the start-up.
I tried with the Ad-Aware Vx2 plug-in removal without overcoming the problem.
Help me please, and if you need my log file I can post it...

Thanks a lot

Please follow all the steps in this Sticky thread < READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: 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.

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.

One of the keys to finding the files may be to enabling viewing of hidden files.
