I have been reading some posts here for a few days.
July 15, 2003. Mscache is what brought me to this forum. I have notice the moderators really work with you on your "hijack this" logs which will show multiple problems if you have them including the mscache.exe problem.
It appears to me mscache.exe loads itself into your start up programs. "Hihjack this" can fix this problem.
If you only want to remove mscache you need to remove all of it's dll files too...It will put a mscache.dll into your temporary internet files folder.Disconnect from the net. I recomend deleting your cache or temporary internet files folder to delete this file or files...
Do a find files search. Start button select find. select files and folders. I the name field type mscache. Skip the next field. In the look in field select your hard drive. The results will tell you where to find the mscache.exe and the mscache.dll files. Delete these.
mscache.exe may not delete because it is running.
cntrl-alt=del and end task for mscache. Then try and delete the mscache.exe again.
Do a reg search with regedit.Type find mscache and the location/s will be listed.
I didn't have this on my system very long.I immediatelly, hunted and deleted the files.
I found it here in my registry here:
"Then be careful and delete all REG enteries that come up. Not the whole key just the ones related to mscache.
I found an entry in {E9400AF8-C6A2-45D0-B272-E3189541A5A0}, sub folder 1.0-sub folder 0 - sub folder, win32 then I deleted the mscache there...I didnt delete the whole key just in case the computer needs it...I am not that much of a computer geek to know if I could delete the whole key starting from {E9400AF etc}.I didn't even delete the win32 folder...
Well, thats what I did.....
Then I posted my "hijack this" log and Metallica
reviewed the log and told me what else I needed to delete...
From reading about others and their recomended fixes, I decided to download spybot. It detected backweb lite which came from the oem. I learned this from Spybot search and destroy. My computer is an HP. it found 59 registry entries for backweb. I also had wildtangent. Wildtangent came from the homepage of my ISP RoadRunner when I tried a sample game they had on the page.This media window RR provided would also supply concerts. Anyway thats how I got wildtangent....
The network administrator at our local blind center said his father bought a new computer an ran Spybot S&D on it an he found spyware on this new computer which shipped from the OEM before it was ever connected to the net or another network
