New VX2 variant

[redbeard1]

I had a friend get his head handed to him by this new VX2. He spent a week on the system trying to remove it. Some of the spyware removal programs see it, but can't remove it. It stops CWShredder and Hijack this. It kills Giant Anti Spyware. Pest Patrol doesn't see it. Trendmicro and Panda online don't see it. He finally found how to remove it at this link.

Thought you should know.

Ugh... I just ran into this yesterday when helping someone on his computer. It was terrible. I wish I saw this link before. Good thing I'm going back to help him.
