You might want to copy and paste these instructions into a notepad file. Then you can have the file open in safe mode, so you can follow the instructions easier.

hey here is AVG thingy

My system appears to be alright, maybe a bit sluggist due to all the programs i had to install for this .

But isamonitor and isamini are both gone from my task manager.

AVG found some codec Adware thing though :S

That`s fine, your AVG Antispyware has clean the file and quarantined it.

Delete the quarantined file.

Your system looks clean.

If you have any further virus/spyware problems, please post in this thread.

how do i delete the quarantined file?

Also, what do you recommend I do with all these new programs, are than any i may remove?

What do you recommend for the future to prevent anything from happening to me again?

Also, thanks so much ur the best <3

This saved me lots of time and effort. You rock!

Open AVG Antispyware and click on the infections icon. Highlight the infection in quarantine and click the finally remove button. Close AVG Antispyware.

I recommend you keep SS&D/Ad-Aware/Avg Antivirus/Ccleaner. You might also want to download and install Spyware Blaster from HERE. It doesn`t use any system resources and will block a lot of nasty websites/cookies etc.

I just ran a new scan wit AVG and it already found 18+ threats.. how can this be possible how do i stay safe?

Is that AVG Antivirus or AVG Antispyware you`ve just ran?

If it was AVG Antispyware please post the log.

If it was AVG Antivirus can you give me details of what was found?

here -- avg anti-spyware

Their just tracking cookies and are nothing to be unduly concerned about.

If you install spyware blaster and run Ccleaner on a regular basis, you won`t be troubled with those.

one last thing

i have avg cc which appears to be the old version, and now have 7.5. how do i remove the old one, or should i just leave both on?

I will only see this in the morning so take your time to respond, thanks again mate!

The new version automatically updates the old version, so leave it be.

i found the isamonitor.exe and isamini.exe in c/program/ActiveXcodec....something..something and this program totaly fu.ked up my computer TOTALY like when i was tryin 2 locate a cure for this crap it blocked me from sites that had it.Eventually it blacked out my computer and some errormess came up i didnt have the time 2 read it but it had something 2 do with big errors in both hard and softwares i had to do a systemrecovery 2 get it started again but the program was still there. Luckely for me i managed 2 get hold of a spyware remover named spybot search and destroy and it compeletly saved me from this terror named isa.
This program is free,updated,easy 2 use and has made me immun vs isa.I recommend it 2 anyone that have problems with isa processes.
I hope that this sh.t make sense 2 all u readers or else complain!
