Browser Hijacker Deskbar
I have this nasty Browser Hijacker Deskbar on my system. Neither MSE nor Malwarebytes would even find it, but SAS finds it all the time. SAS quarenteened and deleted it at least 8 times, but every time I reboot, the bugger is back again. I looked on the web and there were a few hints for XP, but nothing useful for Windows 7. Would anybody know how to deal with this bugger.
Here is what SAS shows:

Looking around, these are all the registry keys I could find related for it. It's notable that the installer for it is "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WIZARD.EXE". These reg keys may or may not exist in your case.

I was trying to find the installer there, but there is no WIZARD.exe in System32. I was hoping that if I deleted the installer, I could keep it from regenerating itself.

Since I could not get rid of the bugger, I set the system back to an image of 4 weeks ago. That fixed it.

I'm not surprised MSE failed but MalwareBytes? Hate to ask but you did update the definitions before scanning right?

Yeah, I was gonna ask the same. Did you update your definitions? Also, delete any backups more recent than the one you used since the virus could have been backed up in them (system restore points).

Noticing the Ubuntu and Fedora on the systems you use I'm surprised you would put up with a reoccurring problem like this. It is good that you had an earlier image, until I saw that you had this I just wondered why don't you just reinstall it.
