IPInsight Description:
IPInsight is a process or IE Browser Helper
Object that monitors addresses entered into web
forms, ostensibly to try to make a database of
physical locations of IP addresses.
IPInsight/Sentry : installs a process
Sentry.exe and datafile Sentry.ini in the Windows
folder. This variant cannot be detected by the
script at this site.
IPInsight/Ipinsigt : a reimplementation of the
original Sentry as a BHO, provided by
IPINSIGT.DLL in the Windows folder. This code is
based on the Transponder
parasite from Mindset Interactive; there is
even a leftover message from Transponder/VX2 in
the code about the software opening pop-up ads,
which it doesn't!
Visual Networks Inc also makes a product
called IP InSight which is connection monitoring
software that is included in some ISP's
installation discs. This is not the same software
as
the 'IPInsight' parasite and is not detected by
the script at this site. I may be useful to add
that our product does not monitor the Users
browser or e-mail, rather the efficiency of the
connection and services offered by the ISP.
Also known as: IPINSIGT, Sentry

IPInsight Manual Removal:
Some installations of IPInsight/Ipinsigt have
an entry in Add/Remove Programs, which removes
the software from the current setup adequately.
However it leaves a copy behind in the 'last
known good setup' which may reappear if you boot
using this option. Delete the file IPINSIGT.DLL
from the LastGood folder in the Windows folder,
and IPINSIGT.PNF and IPINSIGT.inf from the
LastGood\INF folder. Finally you can remove
IPInsigt from the hidden 'inf' folder in the
Windows folder to clean up.
Sentry variant: open the registry
(Start->Run->regedit) and open the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run.
Delete the 'Sentry' entry. Reboot Windows and
delete Sentry.exe and Sentry.ini in the Windows
folder.
Ipinsigt variant: open a DOS command prompt
window (Start->Programs->Accessories) and
enter the following commands:
cd "%WinDir%\System"
regsvr32 /u "..\IPINSIGT.DLL"
Reboot Windows and delete IPINSIGT.DLL in the
Windows folder. You can also delete the registry
key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\IPInsight to
clean up if you wish. Then see the LastGood
removal instructions above.
