Obviously you haven't really done your homework on this. VMXclient is a very malicious malware that bring your computer to a crawl by using all your resources to run web content of its choosing in hidden windows which the user will usually never see. It is suspected that this is for the purpose of generating hit counts and ad revenue for the sites it runs.
