Other observations with this malware (or one looking just like it)
EXE files are vectored through something identifying as desote.exe; removing that file completely breaks the EXE handling vector. Cannot get into regedit in any fashion. A process called svchasts.exe was running; deleted it from task manager and it has not come back.

We may have a doorstop if I can't work out a way to reassociate EXE files to work, as I can't find the original XP CD on this box.

OOPS - responded without checking the tail end of the thread. Will start a new one.

I wasn't putting in as advice, but simply stating a fact in response to comment from Kevin that he vaguely remembered there was a way to do it.... and given the fact the OP has demonstrated an ability to research things before jumping to response, was comfortable putting that tit-bit in (certainly wouldn't advise that to anyone likely to stop start-up processes without checking first). Personally use CCleaner myself as well as MSconfig, but have the experience to do so, and the sense to look-up unknown processes.

NB: do remember I did advise to wait for feedback on legitimacy of posted site, as had not had the time to check up on the site and didn't want the OP bricking his system... I have taken advice on board

Having similar problems with this...

On boot to normal mode, WPP pops up and does its thing.

On boot to safe mode w/ networking, I just get a black screen.

Any ideas?
