VX2 Cleaner - Lavasoft

What does this program do?

VX2 is one of the most problematic applications to remove from your computer. While Ad-Aware SE effectively deals with most VX2 variants, there are a few that none of today's available anti-spyware applications can detect or remove. VX2 Cleaner v1.03 is a stand-alone removal tool for menacing VX2 applications.

Who should use this program?

Anyone that suspects that they are infected with VX2 variants should use this program.

How does it work?

1. Close Ad-Aware SE if it is currently open.
2. Download VX2 Cleaner. After installation, re-start Ad-Aware SE before running the VX2 Cleaner.

Note: If you have already attempted to run Ad-Aware SE to remove VX2, you may need to run the VX2 Cleaner several times to remove possible VX2 remains. If you have already attempted to remove VX2 with Ad-Aware SE, follow these steps:

1. Before running the VX2 Cleaner, close all anti-virus or anti-spyware applications.
2. Run the VX2 Cleaner. If your computer is infected with VX2, a dialog box saying "New VX2 variant found" or "VX2 variant 1 found" will appear.
3. Select "Clean" and a dialog box saying "The first phase is complete. Please reboot and perform a Smart Scan." will appear. After saving your work, reboot your system manually.
4. Repeat this until the VX2 Cleaner reports "System clean". Select "Close" to exit.
5. Run Ad-Aware SE one more time and scan your computer to make sure all VX2 variants have been found and removed.
