    Default Vxgame Virus??? Help!

    My daughter turned off the firewall.. and got this trojan virus.. so I downloaded windows defender from the microsoft site, only it doesn't remove it.. anyone who can help me is greatly appreciated.. I need a fix.. she was on the main computer.. the one that is the hub to every other in the house.. she turned off the virus protector and the firewall.. why?? because she is 11 and doesn't know any better... so today, I have been desperately trying to fix it with everything I can think of, and nothing works... and, of course since this stupid worm keeps your anti virus from working, therein lies the problem as to why I can't just run my virus software...

    so.. computer gurus... please if you know of a way to get rid of this mother fuckin pain in my ass.. I would be grateful to you forever..

    Thanks.

    I've had pretty good luck removing little invaders with this.

    http://www.ewido.net/en/product/

    30 day free trial of the full version. Limmited function after that, but you can get a new 30 day trial every time they make a new version.

    It avoids some of the geekier and more dangerous solutions.

Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!"

    Shut down and restart:

    If Windows XP is the only operating system installed on your computer, booting into Safe Mode with these instructions.
    • If the computer is running, shut down Windows, and then turn off the power
    • Wait 30 seconds, and then turn the computer on.
    • Start tapping the F8 key. The Windows Advanced Options Menu appears. If you begin tapping the F8 key too soon, some computers display a "keyboard error" message. To resolve this, restart the computer and try again.
    • Ensure that the Safe mode option is selected.
    • Press Enter. The computer then begins to start in Safe mode.
    • When you are finished with all troubleshooting, close all programs and restart the computer as you normally would.
    I'm assuming XP. If not:

    Yeah, I know. Where's a real geek when you need one?

    I shut down, I rebooted and I did get to safe mode, I had downloaded PREVX1- this has detected all this friggin spyware crap... "malware", I am also doing a system restore now.. it has taken me all day to get to the source of the issue, this little bugger clones itself... but I'm unsure if a system restore will actually work... ???

    So my question now, is that now that I am getting all these malwares showing up... and I clean it etc... which virus software do I need to avoid this shit? Obviously my Norton isn't going to work, I was just reading the update on a separate system (the one I'm using to type this) and 2006 doesn't cover this one.. WTF?

    hopefully this will fix it... If not, I'm going to throw it out the window.

    If you want good virus protection get Avast. Its pretty much the best hands down. Also run S&D Spy bot 1 time a week it does wonders.

    That virus is a pain because it just shows up as 1 of normally 6-8 on your computer of SVCHOST.EXE under task man. Depending on how long you have had it will answer if you can get rid of it.

    reformatting will for sure get rid of it, but thats different then just a system restore you actually delete the partition in your hard drive and make a new one. If you havnt had it too long, a system restore should fix it.

    Also If you can get your task manger to come up look for these .exe`s as well.

    dlh9jkdq?.exe
    kernels8.exe
    taskdir.exe
    taskdir~.exe
    vxgame?.exe
    vxgamet?.exe
    zlbw.dll

    Those are all part of that virus.

    Avast might be able to clean it out as well. All depends on how many files its in.

    EDIT: Ill look what to see if I can find anymore on that virus and send yah a PM if I find anything out.

    There really isn't a level to avoid it, since anti-virus and anti-adware is as only as good as their definitions file.

    The best, and probably most tested solution, imo is to install norman antivirus (it's sandbox technology really works in keeping undefined virus' at bay) and combining it with webroots spyware sweeper. Best 60.00 you'll spend.
    People are not ruled by their memories.
