I noted in a previous post some removal tips for dmv-lite.

Scan again with HijackThis and place a check next to the following entries. Close ALL other windows and click fix.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Dvx] C:\WINDOWS\system32\wsxsvc\wsxsvc.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [vmss] C:\WINDOWS\system32\vmss\vmss.exe

Right click My Computer and choose properties. On system restore tab, check the box to turn off. OK out.

Go to start>run and type msconfig, hit enter. On the boot.ini tab, check the box next to /safeboot and OK. Yes to restart. This will restart your computer in safe mode. Logon to your user account.

Now in safe mode, you will need to show hidden files and folders, as well as system files and extensions for known file types.

Open C:\Temp if present, select all and delete.
Open C:\Windows\Temp, select all and delete.
Open C:\Windows\Prefetch, select all and delete.
Open C:\WINDOWS\system32 and delete the folders wsxsvc and vmss.
Open C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\temp, select all and delete. Do this for all usernames.
Click to expand...

I just wanted to mention, I found hidden folders named
wsxsvc & vmss
in
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\

I thought that might be important to share.
