    Calling All IT Experts

    By accident I found a little proggy in my Laptop startup menu that wasn't meant to be there.
    Strange that none of my anti-virus software picked up on it.

    It's called isMiners

    I disabled it so far but need to know how to eradicate this little critter for good.

    Any help will be appreciated

    have you tried a google search, it is a virus, you might be able to find something about removal tools or how to remove, another thing you might be able to send it to your antivirus help for help

    You will often find left over bits from removed programs, just remove them manually if you wish they will not cause any problems.
