'Remember, the terrorists that are calling themselves Islamic State (ISIS) are not Muslims,' says the animated drawing, wearing the distinctive Guy Fawkes mask.
'ISIS: we will hunt you, take down your sites, accounts, emails, and expose you...
'From now on, no safe place for you online.
'You will be treated like a virus, And we are the cure.'
The group was also keen to stress they 'come from all races, countries, religions and ethnicity', saying they are 'rich, poor, young,or old, gay or straight'.
A list released by the group shows hundreds of Twitter accounts used by ISIS or ISIS-affiliated groups which have been targeted.
Some have been taken down entirely, while others have been hacked, with tweets added in.
They have also revealed email addresses and 12 Facebook accounts they say have been keeping in touch with 'terrorists' - encouraging people to monitor the latter.

Anonymous decided to declare war after the Paris shootings, using the hashtag #OpISIS
In a statement they explained: 'Freedom of expression has suffered inhuman assault ... It is our duty to react ... We wish to express our condolences to the families of the victims of this cowardly and despicable act.'
They added: 'We will fight always and everywhere the enemies of freedom of expression ... Freedom of expression and opinion is a non-negotiable thing. To tackle it is to attack democracy.
'Expect a massive frontal reaction from us because the struggle for the defense of those freedoms is the foundation of our movement.'
It closed down its first extremist website by January 12.
