downloads disapear as soon as completed

[launim]

I have searched the internet and this site as much as I can. I am about to give up .\
I downloaded DAP to give it a try, big mistake.  When I found it wasn't all it was cracked up to be and of no help I uninstalled it.  However the SpeedBitVideoAccelorator will not uninstall.     Now since uninstalling DAP I am unable to download anything normally without it vanishing from my system the instant it finishes downloading.     
I take that back I can still download things but the only way is if it is a picture file I want to keep I have to open paint and put the url for the item into the file open box.  and in order to download files or Zips/rar.  I have to open winzip and put the url into the file open box.  Ack what a pain all that is when I am used to just right clicking and poof there it was saved right where I told it to.
I contacted windows vista online help and they weren't any help they kept saying it was a site problem or a mozilla problem. I am convinced that it is not because it doesn't matter which browser I am using and the problem happens at multiple sites.

Here is my system info.  I have no clue what to do I have tried a mutitude of things.

Let's see if we can find it then remove it.

Download random's system information tool (RSIT) by random/random from and save it to your Desktop.

• Double click on RSIT.exe to run.
  
• Click Continue at the disclaimer screen.
  
• Once it has finished, two logs will open.

• Please post the contents of both logs in the next reply.

It looks like there is an autorun worm as well as at least one other malicious file. We will take care of that as well.

Now navigate to this folder: C:\Program Files\SpeedBit Video Accelerator

Open the SpeedBit Video Accelerator folder and see if there is an uninstaller it. If so run it. If not then let me know.

[launim]

tried but still cannot download any files unless they are in rar format, so I can just paste the file to my winzip and then it will copy it and i can save it from there.

do you know by any chance where I can get these tools I need in a rar or zip format?

I cannot seem to duplicate the manor in which I was able to download RSIT.exe

I am so frustrated with this I am about ready to wipe all 250 gigs I have downloaded and reinstall vista.

[evilfantasy]

Read my whole post please.

Now navigate to this folder: C:\Program Files\SpeedBit Video Accelerator

Open the SpeedBit Video Accelerator folder and see if there is an uninstaller it. If so run it. If not then let me know.

[evilfantasy]

I forgot about yuor downloading problems so sorry about the OTMoveIt step. We can do it another way if needed.

[launim]

I'm sorry , I was upset and missed the part about the uninstaller, yes there is one but when I try to use it, I get Unable to read install.log,  even though there is one in the folder

[evilfantasy]

OK we can still remove it with Revo.

Download

Revo Uninstaller

Open the folder where the SpeedBit Video Accelerator uninstaller is located and Right-click the uninstaller and choose Send to > Desktop (Create shortcut)

Now open Revo and click on Hunter Mode.

You now have a little target icon. Drag and drop the target on to the Uninstaller shortcut and it will begin the uninstallation.

Important: If you get an error that the uninstaller failed still continue on with the below steps. It may be a little different but you should be able to find your way through.

Once you drag and drop the Hunter target:

• Choose Advanced Mode
  
• This will launch the programs built in uninstaller and go through the normal uninstall process.
• Once complete: In Revo Uninstaller click Next and Revo will scan the registry for leftovers.
  • This scan can take several seconds.
• Once the results are shown look at each one to ensure they are all related to the program that was uninstalled.
• Choose Select All then click Delete
  
• Click Next and Revo will scan for any files or folders that were not removed.
  
• If any files/folders are found choose Select all > Delete

.

Let me know how that went.
