Answer 2

It's been hijacked by malware. Download Ewido or Spybot, install them, let them get the latest definitions, then reboot into Safe Mode and run scans. If they can't get rid of it, search for SmitFraudFix or SmitRem to remove it.

Answer 3

I manually deleted it by going to safe mode in windows. but first you have to find the file isaddon.dll. that's the file responsible for it. search for it. once you find the folder. restart to safe mode and delete that folder. Ad-aware and all the other spy tools don't do ****. They're the ones putting these on in the first place.
