This file 'ISTsvc' has appeared on my computer from nowhere and now automatically appears on the screen when the computer is turned on.

I have no idea where it has come from or what it is, as when I double-click on the icon nothing happens. I have deleted the icon and folder several times, although I haven't been able to delete it from the 'Add/Remove Programs' list, but every time the computer is re-started it somehow reappears.

It doesn't seem to have had any effect on anything on the computer, but it's very disconcerting that no matter what I seem to try I can't get rid of it. :confused:

Anyone got any ideas?

:wave:

It's spyware.

Search on google for removal procedure.

Thanks, I have Ad-Aware installed and I run it regularly, which is why I thought it might not be spyware as I would have thought it would have picked it up and sorted it.

Cheers for the tip though, will get it done ASAP.
