Do I have a trojan horse?
I’m using TrendMicro internet security and it keeps popping up telling me that there’s a trojan horse it tried to quarantine but couldn’t. So then I go try to delete it manually and it won’t let me. They usually look something like this: C:Program FilesMMediaCodec isamonitor.exe(suffix not sure?). Also, some unknown force keeps trying to open—> http://thepopway.com/gatevc.php?pn=srch0p4total7s2
A while back I clicked on something I thought was a security update so I think I might have ‘contracted’ it then.
