Mozilla Firefox - Can't edit or delete bookmarks on bookmarks toolbar.

Try fixing up your places.sqlite file. Instructions are here.

It says,

"Places database file

You can also fix this by forcing Firefox to rebuild the Places database, as follows:

(Optional) Export your bookmarks to an HTML file named bookmarks.html (see Exporting bookmarks to an HTML file for detailed instructions) and place the bookmarks.html file in the Firefox profile folder. If a bookmarks.html file already exists, allow the exported file to replace it.
From the menu at the top of the Firefox windowbar, select FileFirefox and then select the ExitQuit FirefoxQuit menu item.
Open the Firefox profile folder and delete (or rename) the places.sqlite file and, if it exists, places.sqlite-journal.
(Optional) If you want Firefox to automatically import your bookmarks from an existing bookmarks.html file in the profile folder, instead of from a JSON backup, open the bookmarkbackups folder and remove all bookmarks-(date).json files to another location.
It is probably a good idea to also delete (or rename) the localstore.rdf to remove the references to the old Places file but you will need to add back any toolbar customizations.

Firefox will create a new places.sqlite file and automatically import the most recent bookmark backup file. If no JSON backup is found, Firefox will automatically import your bookmarks from the profile folder bookmarks.html file, if it exists."

core.cache.dsk

Spybot Search & Destroy does not find this.

HiJackThis does not find this.

You will find C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers has a file called core.cache.dsk. ComboFix finds it and knows it is bad but has trouble getting rid of it. It always comes back.

Turns out there is a file with .sys extension that is causing all the popups. It will have a recent date/time (date and time of the infection), and will have a name of a valid .sys file except the last character of the name duplicated. In my case the offending file was scisportt.sys (note the extra 't').

To cure this one, reboot into single-user mode, and delete both files (core.cache.dsk and filexx.sys) with Explorer. One of the easier ones to get rid of.
