Recently got the ishost ismon problem and need help removing it. Ran AdAware and spoybot but neither found anything. Have a hijackthis file if needed.

Non Prevx Users: New users may cleanup and remove ISMON.exe for free using the regular Prevx1 download http://info.prevx.com/downloadremove.asp

I had the same problem for 3 days. Norton, Ad-adare, Zone, Windows defender. All couldn't detect the threats. Only C.A. Pestaway and Prevx1 Console detected all and more with ease. The only downfall was C.A. required full purchase in order to remove the high threats. Now I found Prevx1 while surfing for help. There it was...I got the full trial...no strings..removed all and everything isshost,issearch, isnotify, ismon,ixt0.dll...and much. And I get the full benefits for 30 days!!

Hi Guys This has been a great help. Apparently, even when the 30 days is up with Prevx1 it will continue to detect, if not clean up any new infections. This bit is free for life and let's you know if something has bypassed your other security layers. If ever you need it you can then buy a one month clean up license for less than $5. That sounds like a sensible option to me. Thanks
