Files:

Please use Windows Explorer or another file manager of your choice to locate and delete these files.

• The file at "<$SYSDIR>\vx2.dll".
• The file at "<$WINDIR>\vx2.dll".

Make sure you set your file manager to display hidden and system files. If VX2.c uses rootkit technologies, use our RootAlyzer or our Total Commander anti-rootkit plugins.
You will have to use a global search for files without a name specified. Be extra careful, because just the name might not be enough to identify files!

You can use regedit.exe (included in Windows) to locate and delete these registry entries.

• Delete the registry key "{00000000-5eb9-11d5-9d45-009027c14662}" at "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Browser Helper Objects\".
