Recently I downloaded Search and Destroy to help me out with my ad/spyware problems. I recognized and deleted most everything that came up, but files called VX2/f I'm not to sure about.

I don't doubt this has been posted elsewhere, but searches all lead me to pages of Hijack This logs.

There are ~5 of them, looking like this:

e.g.

VX2/f Class
H-KEY_CLASSES_ROOT/twainted...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Anything spybot lists in red should be deleted
then do this

go to http://www.thespykiller.co.uk/files/HijackThis.exe and download 'Hijack This!'.
make sure it is placed into it's own folder, not a temporary folder. Then doubleclick the Hijackthis.exe.
Click the "Scan" button, when the scan is finished the scan button will become "Save Log" click that and save the log.
Go to where you saved the log and click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" then Paste the log back here in a reply.
It will possibly show issues deserving our attention, but most of what it lists will be harmless or even required,
so do NOT fix anything yet.
Someone here will be happy to help you analyze the results.

Hey izaprskilz36,

DO as suggested above by dvk01 but post your log in a new thread, not in someone elses as this can cause confusion.
