Remove Virtual Bouncer and AdDestroyer.

Remove Virtual Bouncer and AdDestroyer.

VirtualBouncer is an adware program created by Spyware Labs. It is classified as virus and aims for Microsoft Windows operating system. It disguises itself as an anti-spyware application but in reality, it tries to contact a server to receive instructions. I’ve already checked the website that created it but there is very little information about who they are or even the background of the business.

You won’t even see any more downloads available. You will only see there an instruction to mail them on the indicated email address if you were an existing customer and if you want to download. The site is really pretty bogus. See image.

If you already removed VirtualBouncer from the Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel but still unsure if it’ll come back, follow these. You need to delete all Autorun entries in the registry in these locations:

• [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEsoftwaremicrosoftwindowscurrentversionrunvbouncer
• [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEsoftwaremicrosoftwindowscurrentversionrunvbundleouterdl]

Once deleted, restart your computer. After booting, click Start, Run, and type without quotes “msconfig” then hit Enter. Select Startup tab and uncheck all items associated to these processes:

• antispy.exe
• bundleouter.exe
• vbouncerinner.exe
• virtualbouncer.exe
• bundleouter2501031120.exe
• vbouncerouter1402030731.exe

Click OK then restart your computer. Once booted, you need to delete the unchecked entries from the registry by going to this location:

• [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftShared ToolsMSConfigstartup reg]

I originally use it to remove double entries in the registry but since it is where all disabled startup items go, it is useful to visit it. Next, find the DLL files listed below and unregister them. If you don’t know how to unregister a DLL file, visit Registering and Unregistering .DLL Files.

• chilkatzip.dll
• sysfile.dll
• vern32.dll

Trash them once unregistered. Delete the folder “Program Filesvbouncer”. And also, find and delete a folder named “virtual bouncer”. That’s how you properly remove VirtualBouncer. For AdDestroyer, it is generally associated to VirtualBouncer and VirtualBouncer 2.0. The file “addestroyer.exe” is a process belonging to the advertising program VirtualBouncer. Generally, the process tracks your browsing habits and sends the data back to the author’s server for examination.

It also displays advertising pop ups which is very similar to VirtualBouncer. It is a security risk and should be removed from the system. If you want to remove it manually, you should visit Remove AdDestroyer Manually. If you don’t want to remove these security risks manually, you can rely on your antivirus. Just update it and run a full system scan on your entire hard drive.
