Do you know what vgr.exe or vjigea.exe do?
These exe files showed up on my computer yesterday after I was prompted to download a plugin to make flash run in firefox.

No additional plug-in other than Adobe Flash should be required to make Flash run in Firefox. You need to be careful; there are many hoaxes and infected sites on the internet trying to get you to install something that is actually malware.
I can not find information on vgr.exe. However vjigea.exe is identified as a malware by many anti-virus scanning engines.
- One site's report on vjigea.exe: http://virscan.org/report/3341571287ecc7f3a4eaf04bf535047d.html
(1) Download, (2) install, (3) update, and (4) scan with as many of the following as possible until your infections are cleaned.
- The free versions of these scanners will detect infections and clean your system; no need to purchase
- Different malware scanners detect some malware that other scanners do not.
- If you are unable to download the malware programs,
- change the name of the installer program before saving the download to your hard drive, and
- once installed, go to the installation folder for the program and change the name of the program executable file (i.e., for Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, change mbam.exe to xyz-mb.exe), then update the program and run the scan.
- you may need to download on an un-infected computer, change the name of the installer program, copy the installer to a CD or USB thumb drive, and transport to your system for installation.
- Some stubborn malware will need to be removed in Windows Safe Mode with Networking'. WARNING: Download all the tools first, then disconnect your modem before entering Windows Safe Mode, as your Firewall and AV/AS probably will not load in Windows Safe Mode. See:

- Be patient; you are put in a queue and you will get a response when they get to your post
