View Full Version : An unwelcome visitor

Whilst looking through the Rumours and News forum this morning my Norton anti-virus utility detected something calling itself vxd32v.exe. It refused to be deleted or quarantined and the PC froze. After a dozen frustrating re-boots it was picked up by the DoS system and I was able to (I think, touch wood) delete the monster.

Can anyone throw any light on vxd32v.exe?

Thanks.

Thanks MJ. What is Keylogging?

BUMPFF,

Keylogging means the virus logs all your keystrokes and then sends them off, so they can be sorted though to find:


Usernames
Passwords
Bank Accounts
Personal Information
etc.


You want to get rid of that nasty virus ASAP.

Take Care,

Richard

(Can't give any guarantee whether it works well or not, but could be a good place to start)...
