If you see running processes called nfomon.exe or vidmon.exe - you have contracted an adware infection! It is the Delfin Media Viewer,
1) If you have not already scanned your comp with spybot http://spywarekiller.hyperboards.com/index.php?action=view_topic&topic_id=4 do that now .Update it and then run it so it gets rid of all the spyware and trojans in safe mode
then run AVG Anti-Spyware Free
http://spywarekiller.hyperboards.com/index.php?action=view_topic&topic_id=39&latest=1
then
2) Do an online virus scan to check and remove virus and spyware if you still have viruses on your computer. And let us know if the online virus scan still finds any virus or spyware .

Ycommon exec module
-This program is a generic component for most yahoo provided programs (toolbar, messenger, etc.)
Ypager.exec
-Yahoo messenger
Vidmon.exe
-An advertising program which will help bring the latest in pop-up ad technology! BUY NOW! SUPPLIES ARE LIMITED!
wirelessdaemon
-I would assume you have a built in wireless card. This program will be searching for available networks.
nfomon.exe
-EVIAL SPAWN OF SATAN! This is a bad one! Virus and ad-ware scan on the double!
update.exe
-Unfortunately, this program name is used a TON. Microsoft, SpyDoctor, and a slew of others. No way of knowing which program its associated with unless you can see where on your hard drive (file extension) its located.

Looks like a lot of files that resemble other programs. I wouldn't trust any of them.
Run and online virus scan to see if you have an infection...

also check for spyware with spybot s &d from http://www.spybot.info
Download the following program and run. Save the log and send to me (too bad we can't attach in here)... I will look it over to see if there is more detail I get get out of it.

From someone who has been in the IT game a while now I would format the computer.

ypager is yahoo instant messenger, nfomon is an adware app that you want to deny (and remove)

If you didn't ask for it, don't allow it.
