ad aware, spybot,avast…don’t destroy this object…
have you got an other idea for hel me please!
hi and welcome,
google got this http://www.spyany.com/program/article_spy_rm_ISTbar.html
hope it helps
Thank you!
but I have e litte question!! What I do with this adress? :-\ sorry but english and me :-[
My virus is a spyware or trojan?? :
Trojan horses are often a component of spyware, so both.
You’ll will need to run a boot time scan with avast! if your operating system will allow it: right click the avast! icon, select Start avast! anti-virus. If the program detects a Trojan in memory, it will give you the option of scheduling a boot time scan: accept and reboot. If no virus is detected, right click the screen and select ‘schedule a boot time scan’.
A double-check with Ewido is also recommended:
Pest Patrol is also good against Trojans, and there is a 1 year free trial here:
DO NOT REMOVE ACTSKIN4.OCX: This is a component of avast! and a false positive.
If none of this works, try a scan with Trend Micro Housecall, F-Secure or Panda online scanners: they will remove malware.
Links here:
Avast locate the trojans but don’t destro you…there is an error!
I do a scan with ewido but panda and the others don’t start because I have not explorer 5 :-\
What operating system do you have?
???I don’t know :-[
Hello a2line
what freewheelinfrank mean is your system… like, do you use windows (98. XP, or 2000), Apple Macintosh, or Linux, which one do you use for your computer?
Anyway, have you send a copy of that infected file to virus@avast.com ?, i think it will help,
BTW, my english aren’t so good either, so don’t hesitate too much…
God Bless Us All ;D 
ah ok thank you!!! i have windows XP!
yes i have send a message at avast 
oh so it;s XP, okay i think that’s more information for freewheelinfrank
have you tried EWIDO that they suggest, if it is a trojan than that software likely to be the best solution…
yes i have try but edwido isn’t located the trojan! I have just avast wich locate the trojan but doesn’t know destroy ! I have always an error. :-\
Hey a2 line
i got this removal instruction…
i think it will help…

but for the registry, don’t forget to backup the registry data first, it is VERY IMPORTANT…
???how do i do for for backup the registry…I don’t understand very well english… 
Have you run a boot time scan with avast?
(A simple blue screen with white letters.)
If not, schedule one now:
Right click avast! icon
select Start avast! Anti-Virus
Right click screen
Select Schedule boot-time scan
[Tick Advanced options
Cange Ask for action to Move infected file to chest]
Click on Schedule
Click ‘Yes’ to restart your system
[only necessary if you have a cordless mouse]
yes i have done a scan with avast but avast doesn’t destroy the virus :-\
Hi a2line,
Avast is not a dedicated Spyware/adware remover, its much more of a virus/trojan remover.
Anyway, IstBar runs and infects your machine by putting many many processes, files, regkeys and .dlls onto your machine, have you noticed a slowdown on your PC lately?
I would suggest that you install, update and run both Ad-Aware SE and Spybot
Really very important that you update these programs before you run them, or you won’t be using their full potential.
Hope this helps.

Hi Lee, good to see you back. Where have you been?
a2line has run the progs you mentioned, although I agree an update and scan would be a good idea: IstBar downloads a world of s*** from xxxtoolbar.com.
a2line: Can you please confirm that you have done a boot time scan?

What message did you receive?
Hi Lee, good to see you back. Where have you been?
Hiya, iv had alot to do, still have alot to do from now on, simply don’t have the time to stay here and help everyone out :'(, anyway ill come on when i can, won’t be to often though.
a2line has run the progs you mentioned, although I agree an update and scan would be a good idea: IstBar downloads a world of s*** from xxxtoolbar.com.
Interesting, a2line, are you sure your checking the boxes before clicking remove on on Ad-aware and Spybot?
Also have you tried Microsoft Anti-Spyware ? (Win 2000/XP only)
If problems still persist its pretty safe to say the problem lyes with System Restore, so if yours using Windows ME or XP follow the instructions HERE, then reuse the above programs.
Then re-enable System Restore
Hope this helps

Frank, sorry the off-topic, but how did you get a screenshot of the boot time scanning window?
