BMW, don't run away but would you mind starting your own topic please

It will get too confusing posting in this same thread
Here's a direct link
http://www.thetechguide.com/forum/index.ph...php?showforum=4
Simply click the START NEW at the top

Could you also save Hijackthis to a Permanent folder
Move it or Redownload
Important: Create a Permanent folder for Hijackthis
Double Click "MY Computer"
Open your C: drive
Click "File" >>> "New" >>>> "Folder"
A new folder will be created, name it HJT

Now you will have C:\HJT

Download Hijackthis from CLICK HERE or CLICK HERE
Save it to that new folder

Post a fresh log in you new topic, thanks 

Guestolo:
Didn't mean to impose on anybody's topic..my bad I just got issues right now with this desktop.exe garbage and popups etcthat seems to be related ever since desktop.exe entered my world.

I had already went to the hijackthis  website and created a permanent folder called HJT and made the log from that. I'll  make another fresh log and post it in the next  reply..stay tuned

Access your Add/Remove Programs and remove if found
TV MEDIA

Restart the computer if removed

A couple more quick downloads

We'll need this later

Download and Install this small program
to help clean your temp folders,cookies, prefetch folder, etc...
Windows Cleanup
Install it for now but >>Don't run a scan yet
A great little utility to assist in cleaning those temp folders

Print the rest of this out or save to a Notepad file on your Desktop for easy access
Disconnect from the Internet
And know how to start in safe mode, I'll be asking you to do so soon...If your unsure I supplied a link below

Set Windows To Show Hidden Files and Folders

Do another scan with Hijackthis and put a check next to these entries:
I'm going to include the redclientapps. to remove, they look harmless but are associated with Red Sheriff Spyware

Restart into safe mode

Find and delete this folder

C:\WINDOWS\isrvs <--folder

Stay in safe mode

Do another scan with Hijackthis and put a check next to these entries:

O2 - BHO: IE Update Class - {5B4AB8E2-6DC5-477A-B637-BF3C1A2E5993} - C:\WINDOWS\isrvs\sysupd.dll (file missing)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ffis] C:\WINDOWS\isrvs\ffisearch.exe

O18 - Filter: text/html - {DFAA31C8-A356-4313-9D95-5EDAB46C5070} - (no file)


After you have ticked the above entries, close All other open windows, including this one
Leave Hijackthis open and click FIX CHECKED
YES and exit Hijackthis

Go to START>>RUN>>type in msconfig
Under the Boot.ini tab uncheck SAFEBOOT if it is checked
Under the General tab Tick the Normal Startup
Apply and Close and Restart back to Normal Mode

Post back with a fresh Hijackthis log afterwards from Normal Mode

Looks good, how's everything running?

Just ensure that the folder doesn't exist anymore

You may have to Have Windows Set to Show Hidden Files and folders
Instructions as above

C:\WINDOWS\isrvs <--folder, may not exist anymore, but take a look

If everything is running smooth now, you should disable system restore---restart your computer--enable system restore
This will clear all your restore points and ensure you don't restore any nasties
Once reenabled it will create a fresh restore point
How to Disable and Re-enable System Restore feature

Once back in Windows and System Restore is reenabled

You should set up protection against future attacks

SpywareBlaster by JavaCool---will block bad ActiveX and malevolent cookies
Install---Check for Updates---Enable all protection
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

IE-Spyad---IE-SPYAD puts over 5000 sites in your restricted zone so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all.
Here is a tutorial and download link
TUTORIAL==Link to Tutorial
Download link==Download link
Scroll down and click on IE-SPYAD.EXE Free! or IE-SPYAD2.EXE Free!

Regular IE-Spyad for the individual user or IE-Spyad 2 for global protection(All users) on your computer
You only need one or the other

With both, Check for updates every couple of weeks
Keep the link to IE-Spyad bookmarked so you can check for updates
SpywareBlaster, after every update just simply enable all protection

Forgot to add

Hold onto Ad-Aware and Spybot
Check for updates every couple of weeks and run a scan

A little added protection
Open Spybot>>Immunization>>OK>>Click on Immunization at the top
Do this after every update

Also Hold onto Windows CleanUp and clean those temp folder, etc.. every couple of weeks

Everything is running good thanks very much. http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'B)\' /> . One thing though which I'm not sure is related or not. In my add/remove prgrams I have an 'iSearch Firefox Installer' .  One of the first things I did when this desktop.exe  thing started poppng uo was to  unistall it but after reboot it would come back. Any thoughts on this? Not sure if I have to create a new topic on ths matter..Please advise..& thank you.

Can you try something for me BMW
Go back into Add/remove programs and try uninstalling it again
Restart your computer if it is removed and post a fresh hijackthis log

If it won't remove in Add/remove programs

Open your Registry Editor
START>>Run>>type in regedit
Navigate to this key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
You will do that by expanding(+) each of these

+HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
+Software
+Microsoft
+Windows
+CurrentVersion
+Uninstall

Still on the left hand side look for iSearch Firefox Installer
right click on it and select delete from the menu bar
Exit registry editor

Restart the computer, is it gone?

If your worried about editing your registry
Could you please go to this link
http://www.billsway.com/vbspage/ and scroll down to
Registry Search Tool
Download,UNZIP and run "RegSrch.vbs"
Copy and paste this in the dialog box:
iSearch Firefox Installer

After a while a prompt will come up.(About 10 seconds) Click OK to write the results to wordpad or notepad and post them

So it was gone after we did the fixes?

Oh, By the way, your log still looks good  http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' />

Just curious, just want to see what is leftover after the fixes

Yes it was gone after the fixes thanks again. NUFF RESPECT!!. I thought about the registry thing after my last post to you and I indeed removed that run key  from it anyway b/c as you say it can be a bugger and I don't need a recurrence of this. Might as well be thorough right.http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />. Words can't express my gratitude. I was thinking restoration and I'm really not in the mood for that http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':wacko:\' /> . You do a great thing...I'll be telling my giriends about you b/c I would have never figured this stuff on my own..Take care!!! until next time
