I've got an infection picked up by McAfee called "File Names; isamonitor.exe(times 2), isamini.exe(times 2)..isaddon.dll....One of the isamini's and the isaddon.dll was "deleted to complete the clean process".. The others... Status; infected..says file not found when in quarantine/delete mode ...Scan info; memory Trojan or Trojan name; Puper...McAfee can't quarantine/clean or delete them and I've tried to delete them directly and have been unsuccessful. Can anyone help?

Follow the Removal Instructions here:
isamonitor.exe

These files related to the smitfraud family of trojans,
In particular a set of malware that falls under the name of Zlob.
You can try tg1911's instructions but I don't think they will work.
You will need a special removal tool called smitfraudfix to remove these files.

You can read more about these files here:

- Extract the content (a folder named SmitfraudFix) to your Desktop.
- Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
- Select option #1 - Search by typing 1, and press Enter.
- A text file will appear, which lists infected files (if present).

This really should be in a different forum, but as I see no Hijackthis log we might as well continue here.
Let's continue...

It is a good idea to print off these instructions:
This will be useful as there is a possibility some of the instructions will need to be carried out where internet access is not available.
You may also like to save these instructions in word/notepad to the desktop where they can be easily found for the same reasons as above.
A print out of the instructions would be a good reference to make sure you don't yet lost.
Also, it is important that you complete the instructions in the right order, and also that you don't miss any steps out!
If you have any queries about the process or just general questions, just ask.

Now reboot into Safe Mode.
This can be done tapping the F8 key as soon as you start your computer
You will be brought to a menu where you can choose to boot into safe mode.
Make sure you choose the option without networking support.

Once in Safe Mode, open the SmitfraudFix folder again.
Double-click smitfraudfix.cmd.
Select option #2 - Clean by typing 2 and press "Enter" to delete infected files.
You will be prompted : "Registry cleaning - Do you want to clean the registry ?"; answer "Yes" by typing Y and press "Enter" in order to remove the Desktop background and clean registry keys associated with the infection.
The tool will now check if wininet.dll is infected. You may be prompted to replace the infected file (if found); answer "Yes" by typing Y and press "Enter".
The tool may need to restart your computer to finish the cleaning process; if it doesn't, please restart it into Normal Windows.
A text file will appear onscreen, with results from the cleaning process; please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.
The report can also be found at the root of the system drive, usually at C:\rapport.txt
Warning : running option #2 on a non infected computer will remove your Desktop background.

I think it worked, McAfee doesn't pick up any files infected when I run a scan now. I don't know what the following means, but it never asked me to replace an infected file. Thanks a lot!

Well the program has worked and removed the offending registry entry for you.
Let me know if you have any more problems.
