Edmond.exe DesktopSearch

I have a problem and have been unable to uninstall the files and desktop search. Desktop search has been embedded in the startup menu. I can end the process, however, it reboots itself and reinstalls other problem malware that I can not clean with my anti spyware programs. My symantec virus protection indicates the following... trojan located in windows / isrvs folder. The program file for the desktop search application is in there.

Also there is an application for edmond.exe which is an infected file. I can not uninstall the program and also can not delete it as access is denied. The other files in the isrvs folder are msdbhk.dll, sysupd.dll, mfiltis.dll, an application called ffisearch, and isearch.xpi. I donīt know if there are other files that have been overwritten in other locations that are regenerating these files or if some of these files are legitimate files in a legitimate isrvs folder, but I want them gone.

This DesktopSearch is classified as Lo thuong Spyware. Lo Thuong displays popup / popunder ads when the primary user interface is not visible or which do not appear to be associates with the product. Here is the procedure to eliminate this nuisance.

Try to terminate these running processes with Task Manager:

  • desktop.exe
  • edmond.exe
  • ffisearch.exe

Remove these keys from the "HijackThis" log:

Unregister these DLLs with Regsvr32, then reboot:

regsvr32 / u %systemroot% \ isrvs \ msdbhk.dll
regsvr32 / u %systemroot% \ isrvs \ sysupd.dll
