Erm... did you enter the full path _and_ filename (thus included hvex.exe)????

A program will not start when you simply navigate (or search) for its path. But if you included the file itself and pressed enter, you actually executed the program...

If so, you manually started the virus again and you're probably back to square one and you're infected again.

Please would be nice :P

Yeah what chrissy said, in the end thats what removed the virus for me completely!

However, after using allot of the stuff that other people posted on this thread managed to stop it from sending links, but the executable still stayed in my system!

So get malwarebytes full version.
