If you run a scan (a virus scan) it should tell you what it recomends ie. move to chest or delete. Try this antivirus: It's the best I know that is out there.

if you have norton or mcafee god help you because they suck.

You may have spyware on your PC.Try these, they are both free.

Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.

I would request you to download an antivirus software. Here's a shortcut link I've created for you. http://pandaantivirus.notlong.com
This will download the 30 days full featured trial version of panda antivirus software. If you have an antivirus program already installed, you need to remove them as two antivirus program cannot run simultaneously. So I would suggest you to do a clean boot so that none of the components of your previous antivirus are loaded. To do a cleanboot. Click on Start> Click on Run> Type "msconfig" without quotes and press enter. This will open up system configuration utility. Then choose the last tab on top which says "Startup", on that page you'll find disable all link. Click on that, then click on apply. Now click on the tab beside startup which says "Services" and you will find an option which says "hide all microsoft services", put a check mark there and then click on disable all. This will disable all the third party services. Now click on apply and then close and restart the system. When the system starts up again you will find a box saying system configuration utility has been used. Put a check mark on the box saying "do not show this message again" and then click on "OK". Now you need to install the panda software which you have downloaded before. After installing that software you need to delete all the restore points because those restore points may be containing the spyware or the virus. To disable system restore click on start> Right click on my computer> click on properties and then click on system restore tab and choose "turn off system restore". Now update the antivirus software if possible and then run a full system scan. Also i will suggest to download Ewido Antispyware from here
http://download.ewido.net/ewido-setup.exe
and run a full system scan once again.
This should fix the issue. However you will find some icons missing from system tray beside your computer clock because you have done a msconfig, so do not panic, they have not been uninstalled, but removed from the startup list. You can always use them from All Programs list.

Hello,

Best option would be download and run an antivirus program and scan your computer for any virus. I use eScan Internet Security and find it pretty good. You can download a 30 day trial version from http://www.mwti.net and scan and clean your computer. Do post if you need any help.

boot your computer in safe mode and run virus scan
Turn off. Turn On, keep pressing F8 key till you see a menu on the screen, choose to boot in safe mode. Run virus scan. Then Restart computer normally

If you`re willing to detach yourself from the mainstream community (MS Windows) you can try Linux distributions like Ubuntu etc. But you must work very hard to go through the conversion process as Linux is very different from Windows (you don`t have basic support for WMV or any proprietary codecs but it`s possible to achieve them). If you succeed, you reap the rewards such as not having to worry about getting viruses and spywares, access to totally free softwares etc.

No it is not insured. The broking would have a 'Motor commerce coverage' which has blanket conceal for any motor vehicle he drives in connection along with his employer. the motor vehicle its self did not have insurance in the kind you recognize it. The minute the broking stepped out of the motor vehicle it became uninsured so which you will desire to get it off the wide-unfold public street whether it somewhat is on it.

viruses and spyware/adware is not the same things, so you need antispyware not antivirus to clean your computer. try spyware doctor, it removes things like that.

Download this free anti-virus and anti-spyware, update them and scan your computer, one after the other:
AVG: http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5#avg-anti-virus-free
AVG anti-spyware: http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5#avg-anti-spyware-free


You can continue to use AVG anti-spyware after the 30 days trial, but the resident shield and automatic updates will become disfunctional. Also, if you have already got some good anti-virus, then no need to have AVG, because keeping two anti-viruses together is unsafe.
