Answer 1

You have managed to pick up some malware. It is obviously trying to contact a server to download ads and possibly other malware. Check your Add/ remove program for new programs you did not intentionally install and also check your addons in IE for same. I suggest you use the two programs below (free for the home user). If you still have a malware problem after using them, post back for further instructions.

Install Super Antispyware. Run it in safe mode. Allow it to quarantine whatever it finds.

Run the online scan for Bit Defender in normal mode. Allow it to quarantine whatever it finds.

Getting into Windows Safe Mode

Answer 3

Win XP=



start/control panel/add and remove prgrams- remove all elements of trend micro



Get AVG 7.5 free edition and MS Windows Defender and if on a high speed connection put a cheap NAT Router between your high speed modem and your computer



Trend Micro cause more problems for more people, I don't even understand how tech's could recommend it.



If you paid for it- you can try to redownload and reinstall, something else will happen to your comp after the next update and you get to do it again- sorry

Answer 4

Download the following programs:



1) CCleaner does an excellent job cleaning up temporary internet files, cookies, temp files, recycle bin, and prefetch folder.



2) Hitman Pro will let you automatically install, update, and run in Safe Mode many of the best free and free-to-try antispyware programs all with one click, including Spybot Search & Destroy, Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE, SpywareBlaster, Ewido, and free trials of Webroot Spysweeper and PCTools SpywareDoctor. The free version of Spybot Search & Destroy allows autoupdates, but Hitman Pro helps in keeping the others up to date with one click.



3) Winsockfix which is used to fix your internet connectivity if cleaning up malware breaks your internet connection.



4) Hijackthis which catalogs the places programs (both legitimate and malicious) are usually found, so that an expert can tell you if there's anything nasty remaining.



First, run CCleaner to clean out temporary files. In the Advanced section only check off "Old Prefetch data". Then click on Issues and scan for issues. Have it fix them all and make backups in case something gets erased that shouldn't (although I've never had problems with CCleaner's issue fixes). Then Scan for issues again until you get "No issues found". Then click on Tools and uninstall programs you don't want, and while in Tools click on Startup to remove things you don't want starting automatically. If you're unsure what you need to keep you can google for advice or email me with your questions.



Then update your antivirus program and then reboot into Safe Mode to run a full scan, then reboot after cleaning up what it found.



Then run Hitman Pro with the Safe Mode box checked. Reboot after cleaning up what it found.



Now run Hijackthis with the "Scan and Save Logfile" button, and email me the hijackthis.log, and I can advise you if there's any malware still there.



If your internet connection isn't working after removing malware, run Winsockfix.

Answer 5

I would run a scan right away and find out if you have spyware running or some kind of virus.Look to see if there have been hidden programs added to your computer.
