My System

ISearch is affecting Mozilla Firefox right?

What's wrong with Internet Explorer? See if SFC can find anything wrong:
Go to Start->Run and type in sfc /scannow and hit OK. Let it scan. If it finds any files missing/corrupted, it may ask for the Windows CD.

Go into Firefox->Tools->Extensions-> and right click ISearch plugin and choose Uninstall.

Go to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins\ folder and delete these files:
isearch.gif
isearch.src

Open up prefs.js in Notepad and edit these lines:
user_pref("browser.search.defaultenginename", "ISearch"); -->
user_pref("browser.search.defaultenginename", "Google");

user_pref("browser.search.selectedEngine", "ISearch"); -->
user_pref("browser.search.selectedEngine", "Google");

Delete this line in prefs.js file
user_pref("keyword.URL", "http://www.isearch.com/?q=");

Your log is clean.

To help prevent future spyware infections, read the Anti-Spyware Tutorial and use the tools provided.

Are there any problems now? If not, you should be set to go.
