    Great crosspost from TaurArian. Mr. Ollakal - As TaurArian said, your
    computer is infected by a rogue antispyware program a program that
    purports to be a Good Guy but is really a Bad Guy. Since these types of
    malware commonly download/install more malware, you can't assume that the
    main program is the only infection.

    Go through these general malware removal steps systematically -
    http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2....emoving_Malware

    Include scanning with David Lipman's Multi_AV and follow instructions to do
    all scans in Safe Mode. Please see the special Notes regarding using
    Multi_AV in Vista.

    http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Multi-AV - instructions
    http://tinyurl.com/yoeru3 - download link and more instructions

    You can also check to see if there are targeted removal steps for your
    malware here:

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/forum55.html

    When all else fails, get guided help. Choose one of the specialty forums
    listed at the first link. Register and read its posting FAQ. You will
    generally be asked to:

    1. Download and execute HiJack This! (HJT) -
    http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/th.../HJTInstall.exe

    2. Disable Notepad's word wrap - In Notepad.exe Format --> uncheck "Word
    wrap"

    3. Download/run Deckard's System Scanner -
    http://www.techsupportforum.com/sectools/Deckard/dss.exe

    4. Save the scan results (Main.txt and Extra.txt)

    5. And then post the contents of Main.txt and Extra.txt in your post at the
    forum you chose. DO NOT POST LOGS IN THE MS NEWSGROUPS.

    Standard disclaimer: I can't see and test your computer myself, so these are
    just suggestions based on many years of being a professional computer tech
    suggestions based on what you've written. You should not take my
    suggestions as a definitive diagnosis. If you can't do the work yourself
    (and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea), take the
    machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent
    of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Please be aware that not all local shops
    are skilled at removing malware and even if they are, your computer may be
    so infested that Windows will need to be clean-installed. If possible, have
    all your data backed up before you take the machine into a shop.
