I've been getting a message from 'startup mechanic' to advise me that program 'uuespo' c:windows/system32/uuespo.exe is attempting to run at system startup. I checked the description and it's meant to be a nuisance program that changes your IE homepage so I disabled it and deleted the file from the above path. when I right click 'start' and 'search' nothing happens, the same with left click 'start' 'search'. If I right click a folder in windows explorer and select 'search' nothing happens, but I can open windows explorer, then select search,but this only allows me to search the whole drive. So in my haste I deleted 'uuespo.exe' from the recycle bin. The program still seems to be install somewhere tho and startup mechanic is still flashing up messages telling me it's trying to register at startup. I'm also having problems within Internet explorer since this all started, in that it won't open pop-up screens from trusted sites.
I am trying to see if this cleaner is a trustes program that i could use because it found alot of regisrty stuff and i didn't want to do anything unless people were absolutly sure it doesn't mess up my comp here is the link if this is a trusted program thanks in advance for whoever answers this.
I've been getting a lot of generic process win32 problems to do with lsass.exe and svchost.exe and im wondering if this has anything to do with it.
In my ZoneAlarm Firewall program control, I have 'Generic Host Process Win32 Services' SVCHOST.exe as a very high trust level. The settings look like this:
Access Trusted - Yes Internet - Yes
Server Trusted - Yes Internet - No
As for 'LSA (Shell Export Version)' LSASS.exe it also has a very high trust level and the following settings:
I went to a lot of trouble establishing a list of Trusted Sites in my security configuration. Now every time I want to enter one of these sites, windows tells me that one of my trusted sites (identifying it) wants to enter, should I let it? Does anyone know why this happens - what is the point of making a list if I am being asked anyway each time.

i recieve this error message everytime i try to do a search from my address bar in internet explorer. i can type the direct address and i can go directly to a site, but searching is dead. i have enclosed the message below. might you be able to guide me? The page cannot be displayed The page you are looking for might have been removed or had its name changed.
Open the home page, and then look for links to the information you want. If you typed the page address in the Address bar, make sure that it is spelled correctly. If you still cannot open the page, click the Internet Explorer Search button to look for similar sites.
I recently did a google search and when I entered one of the websites a prompt script download appeared, worried about what it was doing I unplugged the computer and rebooted. I started up IE and when I entered the search menu under the history toolbar the internet shortcut "what I searched" - google search could not be deleted I even ran a history cleaner and yet it was the only thing that remained in the history toolbar under the search menu.
Hello. I have recently been unable to search via my Internet Explorer address bar. I've went into the "autosearch settings" of IE, and tried three different serach sites and I still get the "page not found' error.
My internet explorer wont start!! Actually it flashes up and quits at lightening speed The version which am working is 8x...No add ons is installed in it which can cause this behaviour...I tried uninstalling and then reinstalling it but the effect tends to just the same. At the same time the 'Search' button in the Start Menu does not even load up. Nothing happens when i click on it...But the Search button in the 'My computer' still works. i want my Search function back to normal in my Start Menu
Whenever I try to use the Start|Search|For Files or Folders function of Windows XP, I get the following Error message box stating, "A file required to run Search Companion cannot be found. You may need to run Setup". (1) Does anyone have any idea what caused this problem? (2) What file is missing? (3) Can I fix it without having to run Setup?
The new interface in Office 2007 has a great new look but finding your favorite feature can be a little difficult at first. Microsoft Office Labs offers a helpful utility called Search Commands that brings search to the ribbon. Can’t find a specific feature? Just search for it!
Just download and install the Search Commands utility and you will have a new search tab in Word, Excel and Powerpoint.

I am running Windows XP SP2 with Internet Explorer 6. Yahoo Search has replaced Search Companion and there is no preference button. There is a Customize button but it only brings up a pop-up page that says Ops wrong page. Try again Later. how I can Get the MSN Search Companion back.
What are the rules for a case sensitive search when searching for all files and folders in XP. I have set the option, and have tried searching in both upper and lower case options, and still get the same results.
My Search Companion now calls itself Search Results and does not offer to find Pictures, music, or video, Documents, etc. Also the animated assistant is not available nor is the change preferences option. I had a nasty virus attack and had to repair XP Pro. All else is repaired as far as I can tell, but this version of Search is not nearly as handy.
i have just gone to a search in the search link in the start menu and got a file missing message saying a file that is required to run search companian could not be found you may need to run set up
is there a way in Windows XP to turned off searching in *.zip during the Search command? I search multiple network drives serveral times a day for files and do not need to search in the *.zip files. By searching the *.zip files the time is greatly increased. When I had Windows 2000 the search would take about 1 minute (did not search *.zip files) and now in Windows XP the search takes over 12 and half minutes (1079 *.zip files) I did a test by making all the *.zip hidden and did the search again - averaged about 59 seconds. Unforunately, I have to leave the *.zip files as not hidden. Any ideas?
I'm battling spyware removal at the moment (aurora) and somehow my win xp sp2 search function no longer works. i get an error "A File That Is Required to Run Search Companion Cannot Be Found" you may need to run setup I went to the microsoft website and downloaded the hotfix, however it doesn't work with sp2! anybody know how to fix this? I checked and i do have the srchasst folder in windows.
I have WinXP Home - SP2. When i do a search in "Search Companion" and a list is shown in 'search results' is there then a way to save that list to a text file that can subsequently be printed out?
My "Search" fonction does not start. I used it without problems for months but when asked I get now only the first window with the dog and nothing else.When I click ctrl + Alt + Suppr I get: "Search not responding". I tried to set the system to several previous restore points: No result
when i was downloading a free screen saver i also got a "free" toolbar called Power Search and I keep getting redirected to Sir Search page, which may or may not allow me to surf where I want to go.
i used spyware and I have run AdAware (twice) and Spybot Search and Destroy and even Spyware Blaster. I have gone in to all the programs and tweaked the settings as much as I can on the free versions but nothing has removed them so far.
I have hidden the Power Search toolbar from view but it is still there. And it isn't listed in Add/Remove programs.
Is there a website somewhere that gives removal directions for this?
Whenever I double click on one of my drives instead of it opening it brings up a search box.? The only way to open it is to right click and then select open.. why this..?
