Cannot Remove Malware: DAEMON Advantage.

I need to burn some iso images I get from MSDN like Visual Studio 2008, etc/
MS does not provide a way to deal with iso files. They officially recommend
to use third party software. I searched the MSDN sites to get a trusted
opinion. People recommend various apps and today I decided to download and
install Daemon Lite.

I got in trouble very quickly. They say that it is a workable tool to burn
images but I could not find any buttons to do it. I downloaded a bunch of
adds and links to other websites to purchase $69.00 applications which I do
not even know what they will be doing.

I tried to uninstall the Demon, and it really deserves a name change, but
although Vista said that the uninstall was complete it is nothing but.

The desktop link is on. At least that was removable.

The registry is full of this cr***.

The folder in Program Files\DAEMON Tool Lite is impossible to delete. First
it was read only. I unchecked that. But after you closed it it comes back:
read only.
I do Right Click==>Properties==>Security==>

They set up a user: ***TrustedInstaller***. I cannot remove it through Edit
Button. If I press Remove, I get a security warning:

You can't remove TrustedInstaller because this object is inheriting
permissions from its parent. To remove the trusted installer, you must
prevent the object from inheriting permissions, and then try removing
TrustedInstaller again.

It also completely wiped out my Spybot S&D download which I have used for
weeks. It has been removed from the desktop, removed as a file folder from
Program Files.

It is a criminal company, I'll tell you. Our lawmakers probably get fat tips
from such guys to run their business unrestricted.

Who is the parent of the TrustedInstaller? How can I sever the Inheritance?
Why has it never come up as an issue with other software and folders I has
been removing? I may resort to just deleting all registry keys which contain
the devil marks. Is it a good Idea?

What shall I do?

Thanks.

I would do a System Restore before you installed DAEMON. I remember a long
time ago when I installed DAEMON, it gave you the option to disable some
adware and shareware tools before installing it.

Thanks, but I see no sense in what you are saying. I have already installed
DAEMON. BTW, it did give me that option and I think I accepted it (although
maybe even did not?) because it said that it was the only way I can use it
for free.

I am not a miser. I can pay for a good freeware. I donated $50 to Spybot S&D
a month ago. I just do not like to betaken advantage by the crooks. they had
no right to remove my other software. They are CROOKS.

BTW I reinstalled the SB S&D and ran it. it found one spot in the registry
HKEY_CLASSES\MEAD.1 (MeMedia.Advantage). I removed it.

What you are saying is garbage. it is not helpful at all.

I am asking how I can get rid of the folder the criminals set up in my
machine?

Please help someone.

if you uninstall deamon tools ir removes this malware..

you can also try "spybot search and destroy" that is about one trillion time
better than windows Defender with DCS technology (Doesnt Catch Sh*t)


finally a better tool for mounting images that is free & clean is called
MAGICDISK

google it

You want to get the software off your computer, so use System Restore to
return to an early point in time on your PC before you installed DAEMON
Tools. I have done this with crappy software I have installed and it removes
it. I didn't say anything about you being cheap by the way.

system restore is NOT a good way to remove malware and viruses, it should be
used only as a last restort
becuase system restore does NOT monitor all kinds of files, thus residue of
those malware will still be located on the hard drives..

Even microsoft says this...

Andre, I am really sorry. You just did not express it clearly.

I think the system does system backup automatically. I do have Vista
Ultimate, BTW.

I found a few restore points. I think I will restore the machine to a pint
of yesterday when I downloaded a parser and SDK from MS.

Thanks for suggestion. Such things are on your mind all the time but I
wanted to find out how other people handle them.

Thanks again.

Thank you VistaByte,

Where is your post you are referring to? I want to read it. Anyhow I am
about to follow Andre's suggestion and restore the system to an earlier
point.

Thanks.
