VBouncer / Virtual Bouncer Removal For removal of the new VBouncer malware, Spybot S&D has now updated for VBouncer as of the feb 23 update. Ad-aware 6 removes VBouncer, but leaves a folder behind at C:\syssettingslog\. Make certain you have build 162 and not build 160 of Ad-aware.

SpyBot Search and Destroy successfully got it off the comptuer. But it came back several times. I found a free download that will block virtual bouncer from downloading again. http://www.spywareguide.com/blockfile.php Good luck & hopefully we've all seen the last of it. cheers, Jen [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: virtual bouncer Thursday, June 5, 2003 at 8:09 pm Posted by John Slagor (1 messages posted) I get rid of 'Virtual Bouncer' I went into the registry and removed any reference to virtual bouncer vbouncer spylabs Not onlt that, I then had to delete the vbouncer' file from explorer. BUT it will not delete the file 'virtualbouncer.exe. I found that if I renamed the file that did it. I think that this is just another virus that they extort you get get rid of. Hope that is helpful.

When I 1st got to the sight I saw a macro run that turned my browser security to the lowest setting as I was trying to figure that one out the program installed itself on my PC with out being told to-do so. I am sure this is why the macro is run to lower your security settings 1st so I did what I felt was best and turned off my computer. All this happened with in a about a minuets time. When I turned the PC back on I found that I was to late it had already spread into my locals, desktop to start-up and a few different places in my registry. I can say I went with regedit and search on files and folders also msconfiged it out!! I can tell you it did all this right along my virus and firewall software from Mcafee… Were it spread and how it spread makes me personally believe this is worse than a virus!
