Everytime i get online, i see the nod 32 showing an alert telling me there is an Spysheriff and an isass.exe in my pc, but no matter what antivirus i use, that virus insist in staying in my pc.
I have used spyware doctor, ad-aware se, No adware, spybot destroy, but nothing works against this virus.
What do i do to get rid of this pest?

Ever tried CCleaner? (Stands for crap cleaner) It's free, works great and I use it every day before logging off. You won't believe how fast it is. Sounds like a registry problem. If CCleaner doesn't work, Microsoft has a registry restoration program (not free). Microsoft also has a program (free) called Windows Defender. Good program. Microsoft also has a program which will scan your computer/registry (free) and let you know of problems. Personally, I think Norton Antivirus 2006 is THE best at stopping this type of situation before it attaches. Expensive, but worth the money...at least to me. My machine stays clean and fast with Norton, CCleaner and Windows Defender. I'm presuming you've already done a search and can't locate the exe program associated with your problem. Good luck and I hope this has been of some help.

Those aren't anti-virus programs, they're for removing spyware.
You need an antivirus program, for that.
"Virus and spyware writers are getting more cunning. They are now disguising their viruses to look or sound like Windows system files. Quick quiz: out of the following, which of the files is the spyware (browser hijack), virus (Trojan) and the crucial system file?
* Isass.exe
* lsass.exe
* Win32.exe
Hey, wait a minute, the first two files are the same! Well, they are not. The first starts with the letter capital i (I) and second starts with the letter lowercase l (L). The one starting with i (isass.exe) is a virus/Trojan but Windows users may easily mistake it for the very important security process, lsass.exe (starts with a lowercase L, as in lucky). And yes Win32.exe is a browser hijack program that will keep taking charge of your browser home page."

If you can get into Safe mode, pressing the F8 key before the windows screen appears. You can then run your antivirus and spyware programs to remove it.
