removing the virus, specifically the vmx client virus?


I have used most all of the virus programs and  when you go into task manager there are two client applications are running.  ou can not end task with either.

Thank you

No, AIO can only repair infection damage to services after the infection has been removed.

Which antimalware scanners have you used ?

I have a lot of faith in the free version of MBAM and the ESET Free Online Scanner.

I'd advise downloading and running both of these programs in Safe Mode with Networking.

For the free version of MBAM, click on Scan in the left pane then click on Custom/Configure Scan, check the box for C: and the one for rootkits and then Scan.

For the free ESET scanner, click on the left Scan Now button then on the top button to Enable detection of potentially unwanted applications.

Click on Advanced Settings and check all boxes except the bottom one for proxy settings.

I'd run one then the other for good measure, but each will take some time to complete.

I will try Eset.  I believe it is a rootkit problem. I tried a lot of them from bleeping computer. There have been many that are getting this.
I have tried Farbar and it tells me stuff but  the trick to learn is to interpret the the stuff to make a fixit txt.  I tried Malaware rootkit fix but I did not get it repaired.
I will report back  to you. Tell Shane to work on an automatic interpreter of the frst log files.  That would be a big winner.

Thanks

There are other forums with dedicated malware experts you should go to if ESET doesn't find and remove it.

Did you use the rootkit option in MBAM ?

If you need open a thread on either of these forums, but not both, let the helper know which scan tools you have used so they aren't duplicating what you have already tried.

Malware removal is a specialised subject and is best done by people who have studied it over years.

em17976:
Yes I did have the root kit option ticked on MBAM.
I am sure that Shane could look at the frst txt and come up with a few recommendations.
I will probably be on bleepings forums shortly but I am going to back the laptop up one more time before I try myself with some silver bullets.
 
One of the problems is with an extension called city page today.  It is a redirect. ESET is about 70% done and has found 2 infected files.
