Maybe that actually is a programme that is protecting your computer?

You see in the bottom right of your screen?... those little icons? open them up, maybe you have a programme running there, look for something called "auto protect" or something... and close it, but it's prolly helping out your comp.

If not, prolly spyware, I've never had it before, also check your task manager too see if there is any dodgey programmes running, under your user name, don't do anything with the ones under "system."

For spyware, get this; Spy Sweeper
Best damn spyware programme I ever used.

If your computers running slow do this (you might of already):

Start>programmes>accessories>system tools>disk cleanup, follow that...
Start>programmes>accessories>system tools>disk defragmenter.... This can take up too a few hours though.

If after that your computer is still running slow, hit me up on MSN, I have something that will make your PC run fast as hell and clear all the shit off of it!

Spyware sweeper sucks, get Spybot Search and Destroy, nukes everything. For additional cleansing get ad aware as well.

This should stop all of it:

Stop going to porn sites.

BTW, that does look like a legitimate application. If not, spybot will sort it out. Spybot also has a registry protector to prevent malware modifying and inserting into your reg.

lolz.... Sick of these posts :P we need a post with all the best software for this shit.

get

SpyBot - Spyware
NOD32 or Kaspersky - AntiVirus
ZomeAlarm - Firewall

you NEED all of these (One antivirus :P) or you WILL get spyware and some trojans. New ones come out all the time and are not always picked up so a good firewall is the best cure!

Also the best tool to use is MSCONFIG it is on all XP computers! Use it!

Msconfig is what I use most as I can check for some custom jobs that run around out there.... these no antivirus will pick up.
