The jwgkvsq.vmx is a worm-type virus, which spreads via USB/portable drives and through the network. It also makes autorun.inf file on your USB device as well as a hidden system folder called RECYCLER which contains the jwgkvsq.vmx file. Im not sure if this is an old virus, but it seems its been spreading a lot lately. And most anti-virus doesnt detect this, but for those who does, it cant remove it.

It is also known as:

W32/Confi
W32/Conficker.worm!inf
Win32/Conficker.B - CA

Symptoms:

Show hidden files and folders doesnt work. You can check this by going to a folder, then click Tools, then Folder Options, then View tab. Select the Show hidden files and folders then click Apply, then Ok. Open Folder Options again, if it reverted back to Do not show hidden files and folders then you have this virus.
Evey time you plug in a USB device on your computer, it creates an autorun.inf file, and a RECYCLER folder with the jwgkvsq.vmx virus file.
You cant access anti-virus websites an other popular websites like microsoft.com or yahoo.com
Windows wont boot into Safe Mode. This happens on extreme cases. When you try to boot into Safe Mode, your computer restarts/shuts down

  • Didnt work on me ..... The virus still in my HD

  • Didn't worked for me... I could only remove it by using Linux.

  • Sounds like an Early Version of Israels STUXNET Virus, and with stopping Posts and access to media, its probobly also linked to the RIAA too.

    Nothing like Criminals hacking people to keep their Looting Justified!

  • create folder with name: autorun.inf - maybe helps

  • But how to do it with windows 7?

  • @2dulle Why not? It works. I use a Linux CD to recover my files if Windows is corrupted by choosing to try it ;) You can use it to delete viruses as you said.
