ISTVC.exe is killing me, please help!
I have the same problem as zola25 in his thread "Norton won't run & ISTVC.exe installed" (http://www.short-media.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30283). ISTVC.exe is installed, and neither norton, regedit or hijackthis will run except for in safe mode. It crippled everything 
Can anyone help me as you helped zola25?
(yes I have already run spybot and ad-aware, they didn't help)
Thank you (in advance
)!

Reboot your computer into SAFE MODE
Then delete these files or directories (Do not be concerned if they do not exist):
C:\WINDOWS\nem220.dll
C:\WINDOWS\wsem303.dll
C:\Program\ISTbar
C:\Program\ISTsvc
c:\program\180solutions
C:\Program\Power Scan
C:\Program\SideFind
C:\Program\COMMON~1\rofr
C:\Documents and Settings\oem\Internet Optimizer
C:\WINDOWS\ovuncs.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\msnmsgr.exe
C:\sadad.exe
Reboot your computer to go back to normal mode and post a new log.
Buckeye_Sam - Like I said, I can only run hijackthis in safe mode, and when I did, I didn't even find the files/directories that it said in the log and the ones you wanted me to remove. So I made a new log in safe mode, and they're gone! So, so very weird? I don't know, must I run hijackthis in normal mode, because I can't. It just shuts itself down directly like norton and regedit...
Anyway, here's the new log that I took just now in safe mode :

Aside from that your log looks clean to me.
Now that you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:
- Disable and Enable System Restore. - If you are using Windows ME or XP then you should disable and reenable system restore to make sure there are no infected files found in a restore point left over from what we have just cleaned.
- Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions:
- From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
- Click once on the Security tab
- Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
- Click once on the Custom Level button.
- Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
- Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
- Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
- Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
- Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
- Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
- When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
- If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
- Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.
- Use an AntiVirus Software - It is very important that your computer has an anti-virus software running on your machine. This alone can save you a lot of trouble with malware in the future.
- Update your AntiVirus Software - It is imperitive that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.
- Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. Without a firewall your computer is succeptible to being hacked and taken over. I am very serious about this and see it happen almost every day with my clients. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly.
- Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.
- Install Spybot - Search and Destroy - Install and download Spybot - Search and Destroy with its TeaTimer option. This will provide realtime spyware & hijacker protection on your computer alongside your virus protection. You should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software.
- Install Ad-Aware - Install and download Ad-Aware. ou should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software in conjunction with Spybot.
- Install SpywareBlaster - SpywareBlaster will added a large list of programs and sites into your Internet Explorer settings that will protect you from running and downloading known malicious programs.
- Update all these programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly. Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.
Follow this list and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically.You can find instructions on how to enable and reenable system restore here:

or
