Hey havent been on here for about a year but thought someone on here might know about the program Vaudix.
Its a plug in that you can download off movie sites and my housemate stupidly clicked the download link.
Been doing some reading and turns out that its probably a Trojan. Also read that if you try to uninstall, major problems can occur.
Dont know much about computers in general so was wondering if anyone has got any useful advice on how to get rid of it? Or had any experience with it?
Cheers! x

If you insist on cleaning them. You may end up with lots of runtime errors messages.
Most malwares are designed to attack popular
antivirus products (like Symantec, Norton),
and Symantec/Norton are responsible for BSOD ( Blue Screen Of Death )

I strongly recommend Threat fire because it use very little system resources (5 MB RAM)
while giving you the same protection as other anti-virus programs.
Threat Fire is PC Magazine Editor's choice.

Install and do a FULL system scan
Threat Fire can quarantine and neutralise viruses hidden in system restore folder.
Once a virus is quarantine, your system is safe and you have the option to delete
the quarantine files later.
ThreatFire's patent-pending ActiveDefense
technology offers protection against all types of internet threats
- both known and unknown - spyware, adware, keyloggers, viruses, worms,
Trojans, rootkits, buffer overflows, and other malware.
ThreatFire uses its unparalleled protection to hunt down and paralyze those threats
that are either too new or too clever to be recognized by traditional "signature-based" antivirus.
