Waffy, you were right on the money. I was about to re-image my entire computer before I found your post. THis really works, as safe mode lets you manipulate these types of programs without initial re-installation. THANK YOU!!

Just removed vx2 variant. Used AD-aware se.
Remove all temp internet files, your profile and anyone elses.empty recycle bin.
Restart in safe mode. Run ad-aware se use full scan. When scan is complete select next. In scanning results window, select the "scan summary" tab. check box for each "target family" you wish to remove. click next, click ok.
next click on ADD-ONs run VX2 cleaner.
When done shut down/restart and run a full scan.

this thing is insidious - count me in on the class action - does anyone have a tool to rid this thing?
126. by Guest. 2004-09-09 19:09:46
from the Control Panel - remove the Recommended Hotfix {0421701D-CF13-4E70-ADF0-45A953E7CB8B} or look for Recommended Hotfix - 421701D. Also remove from the registry any and all of these: NetworkEssentials, Medialoads Enhanced, Updater, Hopper.

Let's do all 3 of #10 comment! I can't get rid of this VX2 either. Tried every trick I know of outside reformating the damn thing. Anyone had any luck?
128. by Guest. 2004-09-09 05:09:55
The only way is to format your computer, that'll kill it for sure.. lol

Send an email to every advertiser that pops up and tell them that a class action lawsuit has been filed against VX2 and Twain tech and if they do not stop advertising with them immediately they will be added to the suit and be responsible for damages.

If anyone has any bright ideas please post them, I'm in the same boat as all of you.
This thing is in there good and I am stumped!

Contact me for help oliver@netflare.ca. Adware and spyware are the hardest to find and remove. Every hacker out there seams to have 20 or more trojans under thier belt. Professional adware/spyware is even more complicated. Mcafee norton
have no hope in hell of keeping up. But I can.

Yo, I can't get rid of the VX2 thing either. Pop-ups a-plenty. Let's do one of 3 things:
1) figure out a way to delete it
2) Sue the piss out of the company
3) Firebomb the headquarters, take CEO hostage.
133. by Guest. 2004-08-25 09:08:42
add me to the list. same damn thing.
134. by Guest. 2004-08-22 17:08:09
Same thing.. This goddamn spy cant be removed! I tried every single spyware program available to end-users. No registry, no BHO, no dll, no exe, nothing! Its fucking embedded into the system.
135. by Guest. 2004-08-18 09:08:02
have the same problem...no clue how to get rid of this new variant!
136. by Guest. 2004-08-17 06:08:33
apperhently this is a new variant. Ad-aware can see it, but cannot dispose of it. It renames itself every time you reboot so Ad-aware cannot delete it. I am stuck also and am thinking I will have to rebuild from scratch, long overdue anyway, but what a pain.
137. by Guest. 2004-08-16 17:08:23
I removed the computer from the network, turned off the restore feature, ran ad-aware twice, renamed the two .dll files it could not delete (6b04svc.dll & ajctres.dll - altho these could have been random names) shut down the computer and will hope for the best tomorrow.
138. by Guest. 2004-08-12 13:08:26
This fuckin thing is impossible to get rid of.
139. by Guest. 2004-08-11 11:08:20
Try booting in safe mode run the scans and then boot up normally

I have tried several times to remove the vx2. The registry files referred to above do not appear in my registry. There are no listed browser helper objects. I have used the Adaware vx2 plugin to no avail.
Any suggestions?
