Most Common Malware Related Processes-Isass.exe

isass.exe is a process that is most commonly dropped by the Optix Pro Trojan. This Trojan is particularly dangerous and often effective because it combines a backdoor access for hackers with the ability to disable firewalls and other security software applications. In order to disable the security software on an infected computer it looks for the registry entries that start your antivirus, antispyware, and firewall applications and then removes these so that you do not receive the live protection that you require.

The Optix Pro Trojan is one in a relatively long line of Optix Trojans, and many have these same functions. If you believe that you have become infected, either through a manual scan of your system or because you notice the isass.exe process running on your system, then you should manually use your installed security software to remove this threat immediately. A backdoor for hackers is a very dangerous program that enables third parties to gain access to your files, folders, system settings, and personal information.
