    isaddon.dll is a file associated with Malware. Spyware has gotten on my computer, and I've barely been surfing at all since I reformatted!!! This file will not delete, and I know it's one of the problems.

    AntiVermins is apparently a russian fake spyware removal program. I'm getting popups and warnings like crazy on my computer...

    I feel like dropping a bomb on someone's head.

    I need a fix. UBER +rep to anyone who can help me get rid of this.

    Thanks in advance! I'll check back tomorrow.

    Try the ever useful Adaware and Spybot Search & Destroy?

    Both are great FREE spyware removers.

    If those 2 dont do the job, please post again :)

    I've used Spybot before and it was fantastic, having a younger brother who thinks its funny to make things pop up on your computer you can imagine what kind of mess mine was in! I really hope it works for you. Dont drop a bomb on anyone, you might regret it later :)

    well I can help... I'll walk you through what I would do

    pretty simple here... do these things first and report back to me

    download and install the following programs:

    Avast! antivirus
    Reg. Key: W41531534H3800A1106-NA6B74WU
    Windows defender

    once you have installed those two, download and run windows malicious software removal tool

    ok once that is done reboot your computer and keep pressing F8 until you see more boot options for windows, now boot into safe mode w/ networking and run windows defender and avast! once that's done reboot your computer like normal and tell me if you still have problems

    i stand by the programmes above. i have the avast!, spyboy and adaware. all are great programmes. i don't really detect much spyware nowadays which is obviously a great thing and getting reputable spyware removers is a step which you need to take

    Download Spybot Search and Destroy from here: http://www.spybot.info/

    When you've downloaded it, install it and then update it. When that is all completed, run it, obviously.

    Next, update all of your firewall and antivirus software. I use McAfee firewall and Symantec antivirus. Both of which you can get very, very cheap. If you you know what I mean...

    :roll:

    ...I tend to keep my firewall on 'Tight' which is the second highest level. And I run Symantec every night around 2am.

    You may also want to get a program called RegSupreme while you're at it. It will clean your registry, which may also be a part of the problem. Get it here: http://www.macecraft.com/downloads/

    Hope this helps.
