My computer has been infected by BargainsBuddy.

Spybot Search & Destroy, run in Safe Mode, detects but is unable to delete two entries ...

eXact Advertising.BargainsBuddy: System Service (Registry key, fixing failed)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\ISEXEng

eXact Advertising.BargainsBuddy: System Service (Registry key, fixing failed)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ISEXEng


I've followed manual instructions for removal of this malware. The noted applications do not reside on the computer yet these two entries appear to be causing havoc (large numbers of "advertising windows" opening.)

Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

Hi pshoom

Click here (http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/threat_analytics/HJTInstall.exe) to download HJTInstall.exe
Save HJTInstall.exe to your desktop.
Doubleclick on the HJTInstall.exe icon on your desktop.
By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis .
Click on Install.
It will create a HijackThis icon on the desktop.
Once installed, it will launch Hijackthis.
Click on the Do a system scan and save a logfile button. It will scan and the log should open in notepad.
Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
Come back here to this thread and Paste the log in your next reply.
DO NOT use the AnalyseThis button, its findings are dangerous if misinterpreted.
DO NOT have Hijackthis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.
