trymedia

[WildKatZ*{MEOW}*]

 cant get rid of this dam bug. it's called "trymedia", and nothen i have will root it out. i've tried a ton of so called free virus/spyware remover's, only in the end u have to pay to remove it......

any1 run into this booger before? any 1 have a solution to it??

If any program asks you to pay to remove a virus, chances are it's a virus itself or redirects to a virus.  From briefly googling, most places I am seeing say it installs along with downloaded games or apps and is in the undesired software category rather than a virus.  The first thing I'd suggest is to try simply uninstalling it along with whatever it came with and then rescan.  I also found this:

Maybe try to find it's registry key.. "HiJackthis" is a start anyway.

BUT BE CAREFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ive had horrific results with highjack, im just not smart enough for it. i did find "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Trymedia Systems" and deleted it. per smooth's post, but my system wouldn't run without it.  i hate registry files!!! but i will keep looken for a solution prior to a format.

"Click Start > Run. Type REGEDIT. Then click OK. Navigate to the subkeys and delete the values:"

 I did that with "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Trymedia Systems", and it killed my bootup, had to use a restore point to get my system to boot up. and it came back.

From what i understand you have to delete all those Hkeys at one time.  But Smooth knows..I am jsut shootng in the dark.

trend micro has a free online scan and it will fix what it finds at no charge. it's called housecall. i used it recently and it fixed what symantec couldn't
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

if that doesn't work i think mcafee has a free online scan and so does symantec

at the bottom of this page is a tool for it, don;t know if it's going to be free or not

Lava-soft Ad-ware  http://www.lavasoft.com/?langref=jp
Safer Networking Spy-bot search and destroy http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html

Two very popular tools for removing malware.  these both are used in tech industry settings.  I have used both for years.
Both have free versions.  Donations welcome I am sure.
using both of these (not at the same time) will find and repair most any computer related malware issue.

 the only Hkey i found (thru all your lists and the lists i found) was "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Trymedia Systems"
kitty reminded me about spybot S&D, but it didnt detect it, i forgot about lava soft.i will try that and juggies suggestion's. Thanx.

[THEKATZ*{MEOW}*]

If possible, try running any malware removal from 'Safe Mode'.  This will help to keep those pesky apps from hiding or running behind another app. 

[WildKatZ*{MEOW}*]

tried that with every thing i got bud.  format forth coming!

[NighEve*{MEOW}*]

Sorry, that's the only solution for some of these stupid infections.  Good luck.
