Got spyware problems? I found the solution to all that ails!

This thing actually works.

Nothing could remove istsvc.exe from my system tonight. NADA. It kept reapearing after each scan and clean by Webroot Spysweeper which was always hailed by the industry as THE BEST app ever for removing spyware.

Well, after hunting around trying to find a fix for the issue I found this app. It's a sweet task manager that actually has links that show what each proces is (by hitting 'google it'), assigns the risk probability and shows you a page of what others have to say about the file so you know if it's really spyware or just an obscure program that's fine.

It's able to end ALL processes, even protected ones, delete them and even quarantine them. The best bet is to just quarantine ones you aren't sure about as the quarantine viewer is able to put the files back and add the registry entires again if you chose so incase it was actually a legit file that was needed by an application or piece of hardware to run.

This app actually works and solved my spyware problem.

Nice man thanks

http://www.lavasoft.com/ get Ad-Aware Personal...its free, free updates and never ran into anything this couldn't delete. :2 cents:

Very cool... did you run Spybot SD 1.3 though?

i had the same troubles, still am actually

ran spybot, adaware, spyware doctor, spyware blaster and msn spyware...NOTHING got rid of that shit...did regedits, did safe mode runs...NOTHING

i am going to download this now and see if it works

funny thing is, the ISTbar never is running, it just constantly tries to install every time I boot my machine up....i can find no references to anything IST on my machine at all

It was residing in c:/Program Files/istsvc/ for me. Not there for you?

naw, I've never had any luck with that before so never bothered.

Same with adaware, it never works for me anymore. Only thing that ever did was Webroot Spysweeper. Then it finally met it's match it couldn't cope with tonight.

Thanks iwantchixx! :)

nope, there is nothing on my machine that has ISTsvc or ISTbar on my computer as a file, folder or registry item

What is this spyware you speak of? Please explain it to this MAC user...

anyone have one that shows up as vm.exe ?
how to kill this one - Norton antivirus doesnt work - nothing seems to kill it :(

haha, i think that is your java virtual machine dude....

no - its not
it also comes up as virtumonde (some adware shit) - or something like that - I'll run a scan now and update

just found a possible fix for it - I'll run this - anyone else with this one?

luckly on a machine that I rarely use - MAC is primary :winkwink:

Sometimes the obvious works -

I haven't had spyware or adware or any of that shit since I started using the Microsoft Anti-Spyware program.

that is some nasty shit one of the reasons i use firefox reformated a system once because of that program.

got to give programer props tho he knows his shit thats the best fucking spyware i have seen hands down.


wise man once said dont hate the playa hate the game.

MSAS rocks.

oh, no shit....i do give him props, it is THE best/worst one yet (depending on how you look at it)...i almost want to install the damn thing when I get the prompt just to see if it makes it easier to remove

if anyone knows how to remove it, let me know...i am sure it is hiding somewhere in there under some wierd name....but it ALWAYS tried to install on every boot

yea he is the PIMP of programers.

this shit is nasty how it runs if i cant get it off imagine what the chances of the average surfer.

80% of them are screwed - and either don't remove it or end up re-installing everything

20% of them pay BestBuy or their local PC pimp shop $100 or much more to fix it

No money in it. Not enough mac users. :2 cents:

this is not fixable by best buy im better then anyone working at best buy and reformated.

best buy will reformat your shit if you get this.

hate the game but this 1 programer is PIMP

hoping never to catch this shit again :)

Man, you're so full of yourself.


NOBODY CARES THAT YOU HAVE A MAC>
