The registry is only polluted when the .exe file of TS2009 starts up. It seems that it is not really a virus but actually a program that starts running whenever you start up your computer. And that program is just programmed to create a huge pop up wherever you click on your desktop. When I managed to keep the .exe file from running just by renaming it to .txt and restarting the computer, i was able to delete the program and found that the registry was clean and my computer is up until now still running without the pollution that TS2009 brought. if you decide to try it and it works, great. If it doesn't, let me know. just one thing, if you do not see the ‘ Application Data’ folder when you follow the path C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data just write the path in the url address window of your explorer.

I think I recently picked up this virus at the library on my jump drive and it's a pain in my ass. If you're trying Enigma's trick above, you should note that the process is now disguising itself as an iexplore.exe process, thus making it harder to find. Does anyone have any recent news on this virus? It's kept me going for 2 days now and I'm running out of options. Even when I boot into safe mode and try to System Restore, I'm being blocked from performing a Restore. I've NEVER heard of a virus that affects actions in Safe Mode! I gotta agree with Alex.

But actually it was tsc that fooled me into thinking I did. (its emblem is just like my security center in my control panel, that is why I clicked it!) So, when I tried to uninstall it, it told me that I had no permission to do so, and that is when I figured out something was wrong. I tried everything and I just couldn't get rid of it!! I found this sight and looked at all the given solutions and I went with Jeff's. Turn off your computer, wait and then start it up. As SOON as you start to see any Icons come up, hit ctrl/alt/delete. I mean have your fingers on them ready to pounce. After I did that, a screen came up with my task mgr and I clicked on that, went to processes and was told to look for a bunch of numbers.exe. I didn't have the numbers, I had tsc.exe. Then I right clicked on it and then you click on end process. Immediately, the tsc icon on the bottom right task bar disappeared! That is when I knew that I got rid of it, BUT, I went and combed through my computer looking for the remnants ot tsc. I went into system search and clicked on software environment (I have Vista Home Premium) I combed through loaded modules, running tasks, program groups, start up tasks. In these I found the tsc.exe. I highlighted any that was tsc.exe and deleted it. I mean you have to scroll through each segment and find it, it is there and delete it! It will take some time, but worth it! In program groups, I opened it and then I opened EVERY line in that, (highlighted and opened it) each one, just to make sure it was gone. And I found it,too. Like in system32, it was in there. I just deleted the tsc.exe. I also went through my "C" drive and it was in there, too. I went line by line all through there, highlighted each one and opened it up and I did find it and deleted it. One thing that helped me was I noticed right away that everything that was tsc.exe was dated, 8/29/09 3:58am. (most of it was) That was the exact time I was infected. That is it's downfall, most of its entry onto your computer is dated, so it makes it a little easier to find the little scumbag! I don't know if that ddpbu.exe is the one. Look at the dates in the loaded modules or the start up task or running tasks or programs, folders, sub folders, everything! If the ddpbu.exe is in all of those with the same date and time, that may be it. Like I said, mine was tsc.exe. I guess they are all different. But the date and time for me, was the connection I needed to root this evil OUT! I guess you have to get this done ASAP, I hope it isn't too late. Be careful about deleting files. With this virus, where ever you look and find it, it should always be the same. In my infection, there were not two different sets of .exe. It was ALL tsc.exe, (or just tsc sometimes) all of it. Remember, for me it was the date and time. That helped me to know what it was when I found it, when I was not sure. I am not very computer savvy, so this was an adventure for me, you know. I was very nervous, but as I went along my confidence built up. I still go through everything that I told you to do, periodically, just to look and to keep an eye on my computer. I haven't found any tsc since, but I will never forget it and I want to stay on top of it! Hope you get rid of it!

I searched all over my computer and Total Security is nowhere to be found. Why is it still messing with my internet??

We were able to remove the total security file and our computer was usable again. However, the pop-up ads keep coming. I looked for all the files and other things that were suggested to be deleted or edited and nothing from the lists was found. But when I open up my regedit to look for the HKEY files I find this one... HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/19675624 The number is very similar to a part of the total security file that we deleted. But i cannot remember the exact number so I am afraid to delete it. I was wondering if anybody else had this problem? I really feel like this is what the problem is but am not sure and I do not want to delete something that is vital to the operation of my computer. My other question is, if I want to delete the file, how do I restore my system to a previous date, just in case I delete a useful file? Any help would be appreciated.

Well I got this bugger about 5 hours back
In my case it just kept on showing persistent popups and false alarms
I checked with spybot search & destroy which couldnt remove it

After reading this guide I started to look for suspicious processes using process explorer
and killed a few processes with weird names and which had no valid provider name showing the spyware stopped after that
I my case the stupid software had created a shortcut on the desktop and a start menu entry
I simply right clicked on the entry in the start menu and deleted it
Then I right clicked the desktop shortcut and from properties checked where it pointed to , went to the folder containing the executable and deleted it and the shortcut also

Then I ran CCleaner and cleaned the registry entries

Now I have restarted the system again and it has been half an hour already and no sign of Total Security so I guess my idea worked.

Before I got Total Security virus, one named Trojan Win/32.Qhost found its way on my computer (found with NOD32 pop-ups, although this antivirus simply cannot quarantine or get rid of it forever). I truly believe one is connected to the other, because after some days Total Security appeared. I was browsing with Firefox when my pc suddenly rebooted, Total Security's warnings appeared and changed even my desktop image. I rebooted my pc faster as I could. When my desktop appeared, Total Security wasn't there anymore and didn't show up, but Win/32.Qhost is still there and my pc is slower than a turtle. LOL I rebooted on Safe Mode and ran a scan with NOD32. It found some trojans but my computer is still slow. Still on Safe Mode, I ran Spyware Doctor. It found only the bitmap image that appeared at my desktop hahahaha. XDDDD That's all I could delete. I even used Spybot Search and Destroy but nothing was found. I tried to find some Total Security files but still nothing. The problem is that computer is mine at work and it has a lot of data I'm afraid to lose. I'm REALLY needing an urgent help. I'm tired of finding programs that I have to pay to take these things out. Thanks. I think I had the same problem.

Before I got Total Security virus, one named Trojan Win/32.Qhost found its way on my computer (found with NOD32 pop-ups, although this antivirus simply cannot quarantine or get rid of it forever). I truly believe one is connected to the other, because after some days Total Security appeared. I was browsing with Firefox when my pc suddenly rebooted, Total Security’s warnings appeared and changed even my desktop image. I rebooted my pc faster as I could.

When my desktop appeared, Total Security wasn’t there anymore and didn’t show up, but Win/32.Qhost is still there and my pc is slower than a turtle. LOL

I rebooted on Safe Mode and ran a scan with NOD32. It found some trojans but my computer is still slow. Still on Safe Mode, I ran Spyware Doctor. It found only the bitmap image that appeared at my desktop hahahaha. XDDDD That’s all I could delete. I even used Spybot Search and Destroy but nothing was found.

Of course, if you had a recent backed-up image copy of the boot drive on another drive, along with a new internal drive, and if "Total Security" has now been fortified to make the above method unworkable, you could simply unload the backed-up drive data onto a new internal boot drive, install it, and reformat the old boot drive.

You do that by pressing the F8 key immediately after your BIOS boots, but BEFORE Windows itself starts to boot. Not easy to get the timing down correctly for F8 so you might need to try more than once. When successful with F8, you will get a text menu. Select the top most choice and allow Windows to start up.
