IESMN.EXE , IESMIN.EXE Removal Instruction , Video Activex Access Removal

This is the removal instruction for IESMN.exe and IESMIN.exe. These two processes are part of 'video activex access' files located in your program files folder. You cannot delete this folder because everytime you're trying to delete it, Windows cannot delete it because the file is in use.

But, there is a step on how you can remove this spyware safely.

A pop-up will always appear on your desktop asking you to update your security because there is a virus or spyware on your computer. However, the truth is, the 'security update' is the spyware.

So, if you just follow the pop-up instruction and download the 'updates', you will get infeccted by this spyware.

It will install a 'security toolbar' on your Internet Explorer and it will change your homepage. I've helped my friend get rid of this spyware from his computer and I will explain how I done it.

First of all, I downloaded Spybot Search and Destroy to my friend's PC because my friends PC don't have this software. After I downloaded it, I immediately update the Spybot Search and Destroy.

Then, I ran it and clean every threat that it found. However, doing this step will not clean your computer thoroughly. The pop-up asking you to update your 'security' will always come out. You need to download two more software, HijackThis and SmitFraudFix. Just google these software and you can find a lot of places to download it.

Then, run the HijackThis and find any entry that has 'video activex access' and iesmn.exe or iesmn.exe. However, please be careful when deleting entries from HijackThis. Ask an expert if you don't know what to do. This step can affect your computer. Therefore, I advice you to ask an expert first. I'm just telling you this for information purpose.

If you don't want to run the HijackThis or if you don't know what to do when HijackThis finish scanning, then you can choose to run SmitFraudFix. You can run the SmitFraudFix also if the pop-up hasn't disappeared.. Google and download it, after that restart your computer and when you see 'press to run setup' or something similar, press F8 and choose safe mode.

Safe mode will make your computer to run only the essential programs and you can delete the spyware or any virus safely. In the safe mode, run the SmitFraudFix and choose clean registry.

When you're done, you will no longer see the 'security update' pop-up. I've done this steps and it works perfectly. So, I thought you can try it too.
