SOLUTION !!!!

There seems to be a solution to the Problem.
Thr Program Pest Patrol can remove it.
If you don´t want to invest in Pest Patrol,
they have a manual on the page to
Remove it manually.
Sorry for my English, if have gotten a little lazy with
speaking it in the past month.

This may work for others but the listed processes and registered DLL's are not on the infected machine here. I encourage others to try this. It just did not work for me. Thank you very much for the information.

Look Here...

There seems to be another solution, which might help you,
and you don´t have to reinstall, all you need is the recovery console.

Find it over here: http://computercops.biz/modules.php?...topic&p=145239

Tried the recovery console, it came back. That was one of the first things I did. I updated Adaware of course and same thing. IT says it needs to restart and it doesn't start up like normal and scan before loading the desktop like it normally does. All that Adaware reference file does is find an additional dll file that it can not remove. I tried in safe mode as above and it still doesn't work. It's taken Pest Patrol 30 minutes to update on High Speed DSL. So I am already a little suspicious of this program. I remember reading something about it I did not like and I can not remember off hand what it is. I am going to try that now and will report back.

PEST PATROL = CRAP

Now I remember why I hate Pest Patrol. It gives you false positives and then says you have to pay for it in order to remove what it's "found"


So it does a search and doesn't find this VX2.BetterInternet even though that link above says it does. It is not on the listed detections at all. POS is what it is.

EDIT: And get this. It doesn't add itself to your add/remove programs list AT ALL!!! Damnit the BS with spyware is frustrating me beyond belief.

Sorry for you :-(

Don´t get me wrong, i didn´t want to make any advertisment for that
POS . I just fund in some newsgroups, that people were talking about it.
I´m realy sorry that none of the solutions worked.
I hate spyware as much as you do.
BTW do you remember where you got that spyware?

I do not get spyware on my computer. I work at a computer place and a customer brought in the computer with it on there. It's a local business computer and I just told him when he came in a few minutes ago to make this a lesson for him. Do not let your kids play on a business computer with free access to every website that is available. Typical teenagers, preteenagers have no clue about such things. Kazaa, etc, adspy-virus infected trash. Use it for business only. Get a seperate computer for your kids, make them pay for repairs if they do stupid stuff like this. Then will they learn and will hopefully educated themselves.

There are a couple of us here that are working on a possible tool to remove this spyware. This is not a definite but a possibility.

I found this today. This was done a while ago and this is why I am so picky about what I recommend for use to remove adspy-viruses.

THIS seems to be a working solution. If you have this, try the steps here about 2/3 of the way down.

would be wise to unplug your net-connection then format/ install windows, until you installed a firewall & virus checker
you probebly know that already .. just making sure
The new Spybot 1.3 rc4 now also search for VX2...

Because of this I've installed SpywareBlaster 3.1, I really like the program and what it does- I'm telling everyone I know to get it installed and keep it updated, it could save them a lot of time and frustration.

System Specs

some of these are from the install some are from the adware..... all takeing useing finger print program that gives each file a hash value and records the file date.

Not to mention a batch file in my C:\ dir that ran a bit of code on every boot and a wierd named file I didn't get logged.

I did a backup of my regisrty before and after It added over a 3 mb of code to my registry... thats not even counting changes! thats just what was added! I can't possable go though that much text but thats and insane amount of chages

I had tired to capture all the chages made but this thing even disabled the tools I was planing on useing for that...

take a look




anyone who has this bug back up any data,should format and reinstall.....and next time you get into windows load the anti spyware tools in our adware/spyware gudie as they protected my from getting this and I have to remove then and dumb down my windows secrity just to get infected..

zerodamage is on a distinguished road
System Specs

Nice work on that Neon. I tried doing that on my work computer and I have so much "anti" stuff on there it would not work. The computer there locks up about twice a day as it is (Failing mobo). I didn't want to make it worse not to mention the important data I have on there right now.
