    Whenever i run adaware about 19 instances of VX2 come up. However when i run the removal tool it says system clean. i tried reinstalling the tool but it still says clean. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

    If you have run all the steps in this Sticky thread < READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal > and you still have a problem, you should read the tutorial in this Sticky thread NO HIJACK THIS LOG FILES BEFORE READING THIS: HJT Tutorial & LOG File Posting

    Now post a HijackThis log file as an attachment to your message. All running programs should be closed, including your web browser, e-mail. Close before running Hijack This!

    Do NOT run Hijack This from the Desktop, a temp folder, or a sub-folder of C:\Documents and Settings, or choose to run it directly from the downloaded ZIP file. Place it in its own folder, for example C:\Program Files\HJT

    Make sure you have HJT version 1.98.2 and follow the guidelines on where to install it and how to post a log as an attachment.



    Overview:
    VX2 is primarily a data mining form of spyware that monitors your activity. It can also install additional programs without you knowing which has a tendency to bring in pop ups and other bugs. There isn't anything good that comes from this and should be removed immediately. This can be pretty hard to completely remove from your system. Post a HJT log and we will go from there. Thanks!

    Also, If you are running Ad-Aware SE make sure your running version 1.05 with definitions SE1R22 13.12.2004 with the VX2 Plugin 1.03
