senoritafishNew version of AdAware out (1.05) - maybe it will finally get rid of that stupid VX2 infestation. Off to install it. We'll see...
As it happened, it didn't, but wow. The AdAware forum was actually of some help. This guy was having the same problem I was, in that the program would clear out that stupid VX2 malware, but it would just reappear when rebooting. Turns out it was a different thing that was being detected as VX2:
Well, safe mode didn't work, but the PeperFix seems to have. Also clearing out my temp files seems to have gotten rid of the ads234 com thingie that was redirecting my browser.
*huge sigh of relief*

Vx2 not being removed...most likely because this is not a VX2 object! Why peper trojan is being detected as VX2 is beyond me. Ad-aware in Safe Mode will remove this since the peper files do not start in safe mode and are easy to clean. or use my PeperFix and scan/reboot all peper files will be moved to a backup loctaion.
