VX2 Removal

Overview:
VX2 is primarily a data mining form of spyware that monitors your activity and phones home. It can also install additional programs without you knowing which has a tendency to bring in pop ups and other bugs. There isn't anything good that comes from this and should be removed immediately. This can be pretty hard to completely remove from your system.

Aliases:
VX2, NetPal, Sputnik, VX2 RespondMiter, VX2.ABetterInternet, Transponder, Blackstone Data's Transponder, Blackstone Data's Transponder

End Processes (may or may not exist):
cgetwy.exe
deletelockedfiles.exe
mypbtn.exe
unins000.exe

Each file is in several locations so you'll need to search for them and unregister + delete them in every location you find.

6eo4svc.dll
6fo4svc.dll
6uo4svc.dll
msview.dll
cleanhistories.dll
ehelper.dll
iehelper.dll
kernellos.dll
psapi.dll
sitehlpr.dll
vx2.dll

Remove Directories:
%program_files%\netturbotrial
%program_files%\common files\betterinternet
%programfilesdir%\clean get-away
%programfilesdir%\my panicbutton

Clean your Registry:

You should be back to normal IF this was your only problem. I suggest you post in our HJT forum since its not likely that this is your only bug. Read this first
