OK, this should prove to be interesting. My wife came to me complaining that there was a "virus thingy" (her words) on her computer. She is running Xp Pro, NOT Vista. However, apparently one of the sites she frequents for her games has downloaded this pita program. I could not find it in "add/remove programs, but shows up in the control panel. It also shows up under "programs" as VAV. I can delete all but the vav.exe from the computer. I have even removed reference to it in the registry. But, I can't delete the vav.exe so far. It keeps popping up every 5 minutes or so wanting her to register it or continue unregistered, and of course, getting the reminder to "register". Anyone have any ideas how to get rid of this? ...
