Lavasoft heeft een nieuwe versie uitgebracht van zijn VX2 Cleaner-plugin voor zijn anti-spyware scanner Ad-aware SE. VX2 is een vervelend stukje spyware wat zich maar lastig van de computer laat verwijderen. Deze plugin, die los vanuit Ad-aware gestart moet worden, moet dit proces vereenvoudigen. De plugin werkt met alle versies van Ad-aware SE, is gratis te downloaden en wordt met de volgende release notes geleverd:
What is VX2?
VX2 is one of the most problematic applications to remove from your computer. While Ad-Aware SE deals with most VX2 variants effectively, there are a few variants that none of today's available antispyware application can detect or remove.
Until the release of Ad-Aware 2006 we will continue providing protection against threats such as certain VX2 variants through Ad-Aware SE's add-on functionality. Ad-aware 2006 will tackle threats such as VX2 without the need for add-ons.
The VX2 Cleaner works with all editions of Ad-Aware SE. Installing VX2 Cleaner 2.0[break]
