I have Ad-Aware Professional running, everytime I boot my PC it says that a Registry Modification has occured. I look for more detail and it is Issas.exe in C:\WINNT\Fonts that is changing some registry values, then randomly my Task Manager will be disabled/greyed out, also Regedit, and PC perfomance will freeze (unless you pres ctrl,alt delete, which seems to bring it back to life). I have Trend Micro Antivurus, SpyBot - full versions, and I still cant seem to get rid of this - does anyone know how to, and Ive had a google around and cant find an answer that works, hence my appeal here. Thanks

Hi, Goto... http://www.faqfarm.com/Q/How_can_you_remove_a_virus_called_issas_exe Google "Issas.exe Removal" daisymay If in doubt don't do it!

Thanks for that daisymay - will give it a go tonight

ell, I tried the instructions from the site and no matter how many times I tried I could not find the file in C:\WINNT\Fonts\Issas.exe I have used the search files util from the Start menu and also DOS prompt commands with no success - there is also nothing in Registry!!? But AdAware still says there was a registry modification on bootup - this is what it says: 22/05/2005 05:45:42 - Registry modification detected Root:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Key:SOFTWARE\Classes\exefile\shell\open\command Value: Data:"%1" %* New Data:C:\WINNT\Fonts\lsass.exe "%1" %* If you have any ideas let me know, as I am getting quite annoyed now after 1 week+ and I still cant get rid of it!

download startup control panel from www.freeware.com It installs to the control panel (start button-->control panel-->startup) Then disable all programs you dont recognize from booting. Then reboot.
