Is isamntr.exe safe or is this task spyware?



Purpose of isamntr.exe:









File purpose and description:

Isamntr.exe is a program that was most likely installed by you on your computer or may have been installed without your knowledge. This program has been reported by many as spyware or adware related. It is also known as a variant of the Zlob malware or Zlob trojan virus. I would remove this immediately if this was on my computer. You should also look to terminate it in your task list if you cannot remove this file. If you are concerned about removing viruses, use your virus software or simply terminate the task and rename the file to a different name (like isamntr.bak) so it cannot run. This may also be combined with other files on your copmuter. (See the details below for the actual location of this file.)

Actual file or task name:
isamntr.exe

File type:
This is an executable program file.

File or folder location:
This file will be found on your hard drive at C:\Program Files\Video Access ActiveX Object\isamntr.exe


General information:
Be aware that many tasks will be similiar names to existing tasks or processes. You can always view the running tasks on your computer by pressing ctrl-alt-del to view the windows "task manager", and then view the "processes" tab. This will show you all tasks running or currently active on your PC. Although this shows you all running tasks, it does not show dll file thats are loaded, as they get loaded as part of other processes. Many spyware writers attempt to hide their files on your computer, for example, isamntr.exe may be intentionally misspelled to look like a similiar task, or spyware may be named very similiar to a Windows system task. The reason they do this is so you cannot easily recognize the name in your tasklist as I have mentioned above. Make sure always check the location of the file if you are concerned. You can always find the location of isamntr.exe on your computer by using your Windows search options, but I will also try to list the file location of every file described on this website, so you can verify the correct location.
