    Ah goodie. Those can all go.

    good....stay off the net until all files are deleted (second reboot)

    Open VX2Finder it and click on the *click to find VX2.BetterInternet* button.

    Then select the *Delete these files* button.
    You will be left with notice about one to be deleted on reboot.
    It will ask to reboot on deletion of the last file (do that)

    After that last file is gone go to
    Start > run > type regedit enter and Navigate to :

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\GuardianQEZKI

    (Note : the five letters in caps at the end may have changed [QEZKI] but it will still start with Guardian)

    Right click on the Guardiano_O?? key and select delete.
    Close Regedit.
    Reboot.

    Open VX2Finder again and select:
    User Agent$ > yes to confirm delete.
    and then
    Restore Policy

    Exit and reboot.

    Run Vx2Finder once more and click on the *click to find VX2.BetterInternet* button. Then click *make log*.
    Post it here with a fresh HijackThis log please.

    Regards,

    Pieter

    Hi mwwtups,

    Not quite gone yet. :(

    Stay offline while you do this.
    Run VX2Finder again and click on the *click to find VX2.BetterInternet* button.

    Then select the *Delete these files* button.
    You will be left with notice about one to be deleted on reboot.
    It will ask to reboot on deletion of the last file (do that)

    After that last file is gone go to
    Start > run > type regedit enter and Navigate to :

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\GuardianRGBPX

    (Note : the five letters in caps at the end may have changed [RGBPX] but it will still start with Guardian)

    Right click on the Guardiano_O?? key and select delete.
    Close Regedit.
    Reboot.

    Open VX2Finder again and select:
    User Agent$ > yes to confirm delete.
    and then
    Restore Policy

    Exit and reboot.

    Run Vx2Finder once more and click on the *click to find VX2.BetterInternet* button. Then click *make log*.

    I ran VX2.BetterInternet and the results didn't have a file to delete. So I am confused on how to proceed. Let me know.

    Check the Guardian key in the registry and delete it if present.
    Then reboot.
