1) Download the following three items...

         Trend Sysclean Package
         http://www.trendmicro.com/download/dcs.asp

         Latest Trend Pattern File.
         http://www.trendmicro.com/download/pattern.asp

         Adaware SE (free personal version v1.05)
         http://www.lavasoftusa.com/

Create a directory.
On drive "C:\"
(e.g., "c:\New Folder")
or the desktop
(e.g., "C:\Documents and Settings\lipman\Desktop\New Folder")

Download Sysclean.com and place it in that directory.
Download the Trend Pattern File by obtaining the ZIP file.
For example; lpt359.zip

Extract the contents of the ZIP file and place the contents in the same directory as
sysclean.com.

2) Update Adaware with the latest definitions.
3) Disable System Restore
        http://vil.nai.com/vil/SystemHelpDocs/DisableSysRestore.htm
4) Reboot your PC into Safe Mode and shutdown as many applications as possible
5) Using both the Trend Sysclean utility and Adaware, perform a Full Scan of your
        platform and clean/delete any infectors/parasites found.
        (a few cycles may be needed)
6) Restart your PC and perform a "final" Full Scan of your platform using both the
        Trend Sysclean utility and Adaware
7) Re-enable System Restore and re-apply any System Restore preferences,
        (e.g. HD space to use suggested 400 ~ 600MB),
8) Reboot your PC.
9) Create a new Restore point

| Hello,
|
| I came back to work this morning and found my computer - left on at night- a
| bit sluggish. I had been using AZESUS to download some files overnight.
|
| I found a wisptse.exe file lurking in the background. Did a search and it
| was located in the system32 directory. Fine, but lets scan it. That was
| strange, first time I saw it. I do have microsoft wireless optical mouse but
| doesn't use wisptse.exe.
|
| Used AVG to scan it- but nothing was done. Nothing AVG didn't appear to come
| on.
|
| I did it several times with the same result.
|
| I tried AVG on other files/folders - AVG was AWOL.
|
| I did a full scan. And the menu screen showed AVG scanning - but no files
| appeared to be scanned.
|
| I switched the machine off - unplugged the internet access points. Turned it
| back on.
|
| Used services.exe to turn off HID (Human interface devices)
|
| Did an update of AVG and then used it, then Spybot, then Adware and later
| TrendMicro Online scanner to do a search, all showed negative results.
|
| Any idea what happened?
