Delete Browserchoice.exe
Hi, I just got inspired EU malware "Broswerchoice.exe" infect my computer. I want to deleted the exe in the system32 directory, but I'm told I need 'Permission' to some self appointed body called "Trusted installer" or such a name.
No, I don't, it's my computer and I will decide what to delete. So the question is how can we remove this irritating intrusion of my computer?
I solved this irritation.
You can delete the registry as shown entry elsewhere in this thread, but in Windows 7 (and probably Vista) you can not delete the browserchoice.exe file in the system32 directory, you get an error indicating that you need permission from TrustedInstaller to remove or modify this file.
To resolve this problem, you must go to the file properties (browserchoice.exe select, right click and click Properties). Then select the Security tab. At this point, you will notice that Microsoft have installed a group of users called TrustedInstaller, that has all the permissions to delete the file, users and administrators do not. The next step is to click on the Advanced button and select the owner Change the owner to yourself tab then click on apply. Close this window and return to the tab security the final step is to select your username and then give you full control of the file. You will now be able to delete the offending computer article.

Why? Why it continually starts, even when I have a laoded browser. Who installed on my PC and keeps reinstalling him! It is an unjustified intrusion.
Hello PaulMatHome,
Thanks for the return of the response. Since you have already defined IE in your program by default, I would scan your computer for any virus or malware. How long this issue has been produced? What AV software you running on your system?

Place the computer in a clean boot state, then check if it helps. You can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
To set up the computer in a clean boot, follow the steps in the link: How to perform a clean boot
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
Note: After checking in the clean boot, follow step: 7 article to reset your computer to normal startup.

I recently used wireless net via Cisco router. However I don't know if the problem is with it.
If you install the new software try uninstall and see if problem is resolved or not. Also try to restore back your software once before the problem happens. Try defragnment and disk performance checking, cleaning disc and scan your PC with antivirus or Microsoft Safety scanner online:
