| 357678 | 2005-05-23 04:25:00 | You can remove the entries in the registry, if u know what to delete. Or post a hijackthis log back here. You may have other spyware/malware on your system. What version of Adaware have u got?? 1.05?? |

| 357684 | 2005-05-23 06:21:00 | btw adaware has a vx2 plugin for dealing with hard to remove vx2. | tweak'e (69) | ||
| 357685 | 2005-05-23 06:35:00 | Then what happened? :D ...er...then I had to fix the resulting damage. I started to do it manually,got the squirts with that after a few minutes and threw the Winsock fix app at it, she was all rosy within a couple of seconds. Meh, Not much of a "then what happened", Just seeing if anyone else was silly enough to select the delete everything option..... |

It's why I have reformatted lately,just have to be a bit slower on the trigger. |
