Sysvxd.exe

[Ledge]

I had the Sysvxd.exe virus.  I followed all the steps and have the 3 logs attached below.  Those programs may have deleted it, but I just want to make sure that everything is gone so I won't have this problem again.  Thank you so much for your help.

I do still have the "common" window that opens at startup.

Looks like everything was removed. Just a few things left to do.

Open HijackThis and select Do a system scan only.

Place a check mark next to the following entries: (if there)

O18 - Filter hijack: text/html - {f5b9c876-c1dc-47cb-8f1d-f03f74cef11e} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\mst122.dll

Important: Close all open windows except for HijackThis and then click Fix checked.

Once completed, exit HijackThis.

You have Viewpoint installed.

Viewpoint Media Player/Manager/Toolbar is considered as Foistware instead of malware since it is installed without users approval but doesn't spy or do anything "bad".

More information:

• ViewMgr.exe - Useless
  
• Viewpoint to Plunge Into Adware

It is suggested to remove the program now.
Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and remove the following programs if present.

• Viewpoint
  
• Viewpoint Manager
  
• Viewpoint Media Player
  
• Viewpoint Toolbar
  
• Viewpoint Experience Technology
