A friend got the ISECURITY Virus. DO NOT PAY FOR A FIX.
I fixed it with REGEDIT and SEARCH.
Go to RUN. Type REGEDIT and press enter
go to EDIT/FIND and look for ISECURITY
FILESECURITY will show up also in the FIND
DELETE all ISECURITY Entries, not FILESECURITY
Search C: for ISECURITY
You should find entries in your document/settings app data and C:\windows\prefetch folders. DELETE those entries

Coincidentally, the WINDOWS UPDATE had a problem and had not updated since Nov 10,2011.
Search for WINDOWS UPDATE and the error code at the top right of the error screen. I forget what it was but the fix is in MICROSOFT Answers I believe. It involves registering a DLL using RUN.
