Vbvx is a family of viruses created by a virus generator. The generator appears to have been created by a virus coder WalruS, who had contributed to some virus magazines, including 29A, in the early 2000s. They are all prependers. Antivirus products may detect it as Beny (no relation to a coder with a similar name), Slaman, or Eggman.
