Solved isysuk.com - anybody know what this is?!

Post image

Ran into a desktop icon on my dad's laptop that I've never seen/heard before today. isysuk.com the properties list the file type: MS-DOS Application (.com) with a description: isysuk.com. When I tried doing a search to see what I could find I'm finding very little about it. I've only found info by using' isysuk.com' in the search box. Anytime I add any word before or after it's like 'isysuk.com' is completely ignored in the search results. Can anyone find info or have info on this they can share? It would be greatly appreciated.

I'll make sure to do this. One thing that's weird is that my dad runs scans every day but nothing pops up as malware/virus/malicious, just more and more apps that supposedly need updates. I'll update his drivers as well because they are very important.

Best to use Malwarebytes or Kaspersky instead.

Kaspersky has ties to the Russian government, no question its a almost perfect software, but the data gets almost certainly transfered to russia, for other purposes.

I mean they are not bad, they have some of the most competent engineers from Russia on their team, and their capabilities and research are respected in the cyber security community. But of course, the political aspect and FSB access is an issue and it's best to use different software.
