Vz.exe
Vz.exe is a system name for rogue antispyware that pretends to be a Windows update installed automatically. Once the parasite is installed, it determines if it needs to drop adware under the Vista, Win 7 or XP name. Vz.exe will detect the type of infected system and sends a relevant request for malicious adware to a remote server. The server migrates from one IP to another attempting to avoid being blocked by browsers and firewalls. Therefore a Vista system should receive malware under the Vista name like Vista Antimalware 2011. Remove Vz.exe before it starts wreaking havoc on your system.
