Try starting your computer in "Safe Mode". (press <F8> to activate boot menu, when windos is starting).
When you start in "Safe Mode" windows only load basic applications. i am almost sure in this mode the Activex control it will not in use, so, you can delete it.
After you delete the Activex file, applications trying to use this Activex will trigger an error, so, be sure than you delete this application also ("Start", "Control Panel", "Add or Remove Programs"")
Maybe its a good idea to try first to delete the application and check if at the same time the Activex File was deleted too.
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to bring up the Task Manager. The file isaddon is shadowed by another process. You need to terminate the shadowing process before deleting this one. The shadowing process sometimes has the names isamonitor.exe, pmsngr.exe, pmmon.exe, samini.exe, or there may be even others. Some of them might also run simultaneously on your computer.
It will be easier to see which ones are running in your memory by taking a look at all the .exe files in the "Video ActiveX Object" folder (most probably under the Program Files Folder on your hard drive) and looking for them under the Processes list displayed in the Task Manager.
Be warned, the one process shadows the other so you may end up ending processes and finding that they are executed over and over again. A tool like HijackThis can make the removal process easier. If HijackThis can't remove the files then you will need a more specialised tool.
