Had to subscribe to this site to personally thank you for this information. These invasive pop ups were driving me crazy! Couldn't get any work done. They came on even when I wasn't on the internet.
I have no idea how "internet speed monitor" attached itself to my computer. This is the first problem I have had with my virus and spyware protection failing. Thanks again. I'm soooo glad it's gone!
Thanks, this worked I got rid of this annoying pop up.
I already uninstalled internet speed monitor in add or remove programs, however I can't get rid of the ISM folder and the BndDrive3.dll inside. How do I manually remove this folder and file?
OK, i followed the advice on the forum of getting spybot and running it, i also have trend micro and have run both programs. I have removed the "internet speed monitor" and spybot removed the "right media".... I cannot find the bndldr.dll anywhere in my computer... So, after all this... i still get popups.... help please.
<h2>Run vundofix.</h2>
<h2>Then run smitfraudfix and Scan.</h2>
<h2>Then reboot in safe mode and run smitfraudfix Clean.</h2>
I have a similar problem with the toolbar and all but in addition to that I get a random popup every minute or so (always named "From Internet Speed Monitor"). When I virus scan my computer, it always comes up with an adware called internet speed monitor. I've deleted it like 10000000 times but it seems to reinstall itself really fast cause it's always there on the next scan and the popups don't stop.
Also, I can't find an Internet Speed Monitor folder on my computer or an ISM folder in my program files. I will appreciate any help. thanks.

Did it help?
I want to greatly thank Marianna Schmudlach
Marianna your informaiton below helped me get rid of the Internet Speed Monitor Adware Pop up Nighmare. I removed the software using add/remove programs but the pop ups still appeared.
For those of you in my situation below are Marianna's instructions. In addition to the steps below I made sure my wireless radio was OFF when scanning or else the pop ups conitnued to appear during the scan. I had to run both scans twice, then emptied the recycle bin Explorer files etc. and defragged. So far so good, did this all last night and this morning.
THANKS AGAIN MARIANNA!

Did it help?
I have it and have read your posts - cannot find a file or folder or anything that identifies itself as Internet Speed Monitor. Not sure how you all found it and deleted it so easily but I sure could use some help! I have Webroot Spy Sweeper and it found it once, but didn't remove it. I haven't got a solution from them and this thing is driving me crazy, not to mention how concerned I am about the security of our computer. I need to find a better program I guess.
Please help me find this and delete it from my computer!!!
i found it when i go view then to explorer bar there it is and i cant find it in programs or doing a search for it i use panda 2008 anti virus and its not seeing it tryed norton also i am at my wits end ! any suggestions will be welcomed !! i learned my lesson stay away from adult sites ! i am running windows 2000 pro and keep getting the same popups about my Pc running to slow
Go to Start>Control Panel>Add/Remove as suggested above?
Is it a matter of not knowing where to look, or it's not there? Did you go to My Computer. Then double-click of your main drive (C) and look in your Program Files folder? If it's not there, you might also try looking in the Common Files folder within the Program Files folder.
Did you read the above post titled Internet Speed Monitor fix above? Maybe it will help.

i have tryed everything listed above and to no avail even did a search looking for it tryed all sort of combonations if the words i have been working on this for 4 days ! i have tryed about every spy wear and anti virus i can find i am about ready to reinstall my OS ! thank you for your reply
If you've been trying that long, you might want to give HJT a try. No doubt, posting a log will get you going without having to reinstall your system.
Read the below thread. We don't read analyze them here, but the forums which do are in within the post.

Best of luck..

I did go to the add/remove area and did not see anything that sounded remotely like Internet Speed Monitor. I also have done searches and looked where I could...nothing. If anyone has other ideas for finding it, that would help. I have Windows XP - don't know what other info. you might need to know.
