What is MSIESH?

Question

I found "MSIESH" in my programs. I was unable to remove it using add/remove. When i did a search for the term online, It sounded serious, but couldn't find it on your website.

What is it and what do I do with it?

MSIESH is a adware program that is designed to create unintended pop up ads on your system. The program infiltrates various parts of your system and likely has a feature that regenerates itself after you remove it from add/remove programs. The best way to remove a program like this is to use a anti virus program like Norton Antivirus or McAfee Antivirus. Make sure you keep your anti virus program up to date and run it at least once a week to keep viruses from infiltrating your system.
