Download Ad-Aware VX2 Cleaner 1.00

After several users reported that the VX2 malware was very difficult to remove, Lavasoft has released a free plugin for its spyware removal tool Ad-aware. However, this plugin, which works with all variants of Ad-aware 6.0 build 181, has no problem with that. On its website, Lavasoft left the following information with this plugin:

This VX2 variant registers itself in a way, which gives it system privileges. It also prevents the user from viewing this information by removing the user’s rights to do so. Furthermore it constantly monitors the registry and prevents any attempts to remove its associated values. This makes it very difficult for the user to manually remove it.
