I.S.T. I.S.T. browser modifier is trying to install:
This (severe) message is constantly popping up (microsoft
anti spyware beta 1 mart). Have run addaware, scanned
with spybot, beta 1 mart and norton. Nothing works.
Ran all scans in safe mode and also when connected to the
internet. Freakin' messsage pops up whenever a command
is issued: If I go to my outlook express...Bingo!
Message pops up...If I go to, say, a different site,
voila, message pops up again. I can't keep clearing and
removing this threat because it is taking up to one hour
a day to do this task!!
Oh yeah, I don't know if this other problem has anything
to do with this but when I "turn off computer", I have to
do it twice! The p.c. shuts down, starts up and then
shuts down again! WHAT IS GOING ON?!

helps. Ed

For information - the MS antispyware (MSAS) removed the
IST for me but I ran that symantec tool as well which
confirmed removal - IST not found.
