Identified by Symantec as spyware. Came with Aquaticworlds screensaver and luckily I noticed during installation it was adding it so I stopped it in its tracks. Switch it off in your start-up configuration and delete the folder.
  TurboTortoise  

Will automatically configure itself to start with windows. It comes as bundled software and the EULA states that you are installing adware along with the program it comes bundled with.

VVSN is a malware program bundled in many other programs such as BearShare Peer 2 Peer file sharing. I have found that it will randomly attempt internet access without permission or of my own doing. Most programs that require it in order to run that program, once it is removed, will have problems.
   

It came with Daemon tools.. could be a security risk.. blocked it from accessing the net, but still runs in the proceses in the taskbar..

Installation erfolgte selbsttätig und ungewollt beim Installieren von ShrinTo5. Kein Eintrag in der Softwareliste vorhanden. Löschung: Prozess im Taskmanager stoppen. Verzeichnis vvsn im Programmordner entfernen. Registry nach vvsn scannen und alle Schlüssel entfernen. Festplatte nach weiteren vvsn-Dateien abscannen.

It must have come when I down loaded a app that did not function how I had expected. So I removed it and now I'm finding that this wrote to the hard drive deeper then I would of cared. After removal my Zone Alarm advises it is still tring to access the internet. Why I don't know I removed the what u app. I guess I'm going to have to manually clean this from my hard drive and reg. I don't think I want wha tu to have this exe on my machine waiting for a release command. Yes I agree get rid of it, its a spy and a trader

Comes with bearshare, but is not necessary to run bearshare. Is classed by AVG as a virus, remove manually or using antivirus. Results in pop-up, browser hi-jacks.

came wrapped with Style XP theme. I dont like uninvited guests. Used firewall to deny it access to net, terminated process, deleted program file. Doubt its a major threat but not worth the risk
  dude who dont play  

Comes with bearshare, have your firewall block it or you will be flooded with adds!!!You dont have to delete it just dont let it connect.
   

Wird bei der Installation von BearShare automatisch mit installiert (wird im Setup auch angezeigt). Lässt sich aber nicht löschen, da sonst BearShare immer abstürtzt. Einfach mit der Firewall blockieren und einen anderen Browser als den Internet Explorer verwenden, dann verursacht das Programm keine Probleme.

I have it and don't have a clue what bershare is. So it comes with other stuff.

VVSN.EXE came after installing BSplayer 1.38, build 828. In my opinion it's dangerous because it will try to connect to the internet without any user involvement!

Beim Ausprobieren von Twister MP3 verblieb in meinem "program files"-Ordner C:\programs der Ordner VVSN (Nicht WSN geschrieben). Bei T-Online Mail und neim Anwahl in's Internet meldete sich ZoneAlarm. Mit HijackThis konnte ich den Automatikprozess V VSN.EXE abstellen. Sodann löschte ich das VVSN-Verzeichnis manuell, dessen Datum mit dem MP3-Suchprogramm übereinstimmte.

VVSN.exe is an advertising program by WhenU. This process monitors your browsing habits and distributes the data back to the author's servers for analysis. This also prompts advertising popups. This program is a registered security risk and should be removed immediately.

Comes with ed2k clients, bearshare etc - pops up ads when surfing. If you deinstall, p2p software which was installed with wont work anymore. Help: Prevent VVSN.exe to connect to www, nearly all Firewalls can do that
