Help! My computer is telling me I have a spyware and trojan
KatEnigma:
Yes, you're going to have to boot into safe mode (not always F8, unfortunately, it depends on the Bios/brand, my Dell used to be F10) and then go into the registry and delete it by hand.
Hana:
All is fine now. BUt I'd like to share how I did it, incase anyone has the same problem. My friend googled "isamonitor removal" and went into one of the forums that told how to remove it, turns out, we had to download this program named smitfraudfix, and that solved the problem. It deleted the undeletable videoActiveXobject. *relieved*
Thank you all for being helpful, I really appreciate it. :)
ZiggyDoodle:
Good. Now get thee immediately to Firefox or Opera and get rid that damned vermin-attracting-allowing IE (as well as installing ZoneAlarm).
Hana:
Thanks fro the advice ZiggyDoodle. I will convert back to firefox, I only started using explorer, cos the new version had multiple tabs feature like firefox, and also because explorer seemed to be faster at loading pages and less time out compared to firefox.
Hm, the ZoneAlarm is only a 15 days free trial, :(. But I'm gonna give it a try. Hm, just a thought, will it slow down my computer? especially when playing the sims? :P
Weaver:
You could use IE7 for browsing, just tighten the security settings; blacklist tracking cookies, disable javascript on restricted sites, etc.
A good example would be to restrict Active-X for all websites minus trusted or ask for prompts everytime a control needs to run.
