On my Probook I encounterd the same Vista Antispyware 2023 message and eventually found a zv.exe file. It hijacked my computer completely and even activated/run in safe mode.

Does anyone have a removal tool for this. I am NOT very IT savy … So all of this root things etc … I am lost.

Correction on my LAST POSTING … It is a VZ.EXE program running. NOT ZV.EXE as stated earlier.

A new variation, using jci.exe as infected executable that is installed in the registry. Followed instructions in this thread for manual removal.

How do I know what .exe file to delete in task manager? I have the XP 2011 virus but I don’t see any of the .exe viruses listed on this page (PW, AVE, AV, etc.). Here are what I’m seeing:

avgcsrvx.exe
avgchsvx.exe
svchost.exe
lsass.exe
services.exe
winlogon.exe
csrss.exe
smss.exe

Any help is much appreciated! Thanks
