If you still have problems then download and run AdwCleaner - it's particularly good at getting rid of PuPs.

https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner/

Click on Scan and it may list programs in the lower pane it considers as PuPs - just untick any you want to keep.

When it has finished its scan, click on Log File to see what else it has found then close the log and click on Cleaning.

It will produce another log after the reboot which will list what it has removed.

There is another powerful antimalware/virus removal tool but it's quite aggressive and has been known to remove legit programs.

This is the Norton Power Eraser - https://us.norton.com/support/tools/npe.html

However, I would prefer Kaspersky Rescue Disk over that which you boot up with, but you would get more expert help from dedicated forums.

ESET found another 24 files which I promptly deleted and it took a LONG TIME after it got to 70%.  It seemed it was doing a very thorough scan.
But after it rebooted the two vmxclient applications were still there.
I will look at the Kaspersky rescue disk and report back.
Thank you

Boggin:
On Googling for that application, it appears to be adware which I would first give AdwCleaner a run as antimalware scanners may not detect it as a threat, which is why they can get past your antivirus programs.

If you go to bleeping forums and search for vmxclient you will see many recent incidents.

I only see a success with a user from Boston.  What this does is change the search to bing.  It also through another variant shut down most virus programs.
I have tried ad aware cleaner with no success. It originally appeared with current radio music playing and no application running. I believe one of the many virus programs run killed that problem.  It is getting better and better so all of the many scans are taking away more of the  problems BUT  the double client applications continue to run. I may note it is on a ASUS with Intel processor and was originally a Windows 8 laptop which I hated and did a Acronis restore from an Acer windows 7(this one) to Windows 7.  It was very, very difficult and time consuming and has been running great until 12/23 at 3AM.

Boggin:
Well if Kaspersky doesn't get rid of or find it then I'd go to one of those forums I've suggested.
