Hi All,
My wife has managed to pick up two annoying search tools on her Acer laptop
(c302xmi tablet).
Basically it consists of an extra toolbar in Internet explorer (which Adaware has now removed) and a small window (desktop search) that constantly pops up from behind the system tray.
You can eventually stop the Desktop search in Task Manager.
I have traced the Desktop Search to a application called Desktop.exe, in a file called "isrvs", which in turn is located in windows.
The file "isrvs" also contains an application called isearch.xpi, so I guess the two are linked.
I can`t for the life of me, figure out how to remove these using the usual add remove programs etc...
Spybot finds the Desktop.exe, and appears to remove it, but when you restart, Desktop Search reappears.
Has anyone got any ideas on how to get rid of these please?
Incidentaly, she is using up to date Zone Alarm (not the freeware version) and firewall, together with a hardware firewall.
Thanks
Col.
