Craig This is a SPAM prevention application, which is very effective and uses very few resources. It costs $40 to register it. It is the most effective spam preventer I've tried.  See also: Link

This can be a multitude of applications, and can range from harmless applications such as a Microsoft update, to the point where malware applications are included.
ppf It's NOT a SPAM prevention application ! It's the updates watcher from PAINT SHOP PRO. It may be disabled if you check for updates manually.

Zdragon It did not appear until I installed Corel Paint shop pro 10, seems to be harmless. However it does run unncessarily in the background if you tell PSP10 to check for updates automatically, as stated above you can turn this feature off and check manually for updates.
Sonny Install Shield Software update comes with DELL computer.
Brian Peal This is part of InstallShield auto update service. So it can be attached to any application which used InstallShield as an installer.

Frank gehört zu Macrovision - habe ich beim Installieren des Spiele-Addon Alexander von Rome-Total War hereinbekommen - allerdings ungefragt!  See also: Link
Tom It's also installed with WordPerfect X3.
eBob This is (generally) installed by various applications that use "InstallShield". It is a scheduler to allow these applications to check for "latest updates". Therefore, it is "mostly harmless", but I like to shut it down in MSCONFIG to preserve system resources. There is always a possibility that some malware author can create their own process and name it "issch.exe", as is true of basically any service/task/app.

Derek Install Shield Updater - EXTREMELY SAFE. Install Shield is the installation engine underneath many, many application installers.
Robert Collard It is an install shield scheduler. Applications that have been build using InstallSheild (by Macrovision), if the update service has been checked, issch.exe is bundled with the install software that you are creating, and will run in the background and check the macrovision website for new updates for the software. Therefore, this file can be included in a lot of different installations of software (including bad software).
