Answer 1

is the thing on your taskbar saying: windows has detected a spyware! windows is now going to download the most updated antivirus software or something like that? if yes its a virus and you definately have one



solution-http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html





EDIT-C:\WINDOWS\system32\RUNDLL32.EXE I SEE YOU HAVE THAT!



READ-The rundll32.exe file is located in the folder C:\Windows\System32. In other cases, rundll32.exe is a virus, spyware, trojan or worm!



download, install and do a full scan.

Answer 2

Stay off those porn sites and you will not have this problem. here's what to do. Try to identify the virus.. Click on the start button, and then search. Click on the all file tab and type in the virus name, or just do a complete list of all your files and folders, and see if you can find it. If you see it then try to delete it. even if you can't delete it . do a system restore back far enough prior to getting the virus. This will get rid of it.

Answer 3

Run (free)

I would then remove Ask Toolbar - a lot of people class this as spyware.



E mail a new HJT log after.
