I deleted all the files associated with imesh and deleted mediabar through the add/remove command. A few days later the pop ups started again-saying that unknown programme was trying to change search settings etc. I discovered there was still a file for mediabar in C/Windows/Prefetch. I have now deleted that file also and I am hoping that will now cure the problem. I hate hacking sites. I propose starting a fund to get someone to attack imesh and destroy the site Hi,

It has a field that states your home page and beneath that there is a field that says what your default search is. It's supposed to be google, but mine was completely blank. I clicked on "manage", then "add" to try to add google back as the search browser. In the first two lines just put the word google in. The third line for the URL, put this in: {google:baseURL}search?{google:RLZ}{google:acceptedSuggestion}{google:originalQueryForSuggestion}sourceid=chrome&ie={inputEncoding}&q=%s (I got this from my roommates computer that wasn't infected. This is all one long string with no spaces). Hit Ok or whatever and then click "make default". When you go back to options page, google will be there and you can do google toolbar searches again. BUT! for me when i closed out of chrome and opened it back up i had to all this crap again. so then i made google my default browser and uninstalled chrome (backing up my bookmarks) and when i reinstalled it the problem had disappeared. No changing registry BS, no buying spyware BS.

I didnt even know I had Imesh ever installed on my computer. I did a search for it...and deleted ever instance of it I could find. Problem Solved! Thanks for the advice. What is strange is neither spybot or malwarebyte found these files. Thanks again! I was having the same problem as others with some program trying to change my browswer.
