Hi JDJD,
You wouldn't be the first to pick up junk from CNET.
-----------------------------------------------
It's really important, if you value your PC at all, to stay away from P2P file sharing programs, like µTorrent, Bittorrent, Azureus, Frostwire, Vuze, Shareaza, Bitlord.
Criminals have "planted" thousands upon thousands of infections in the "free" shared torrent files.
Virtually all of these recent infections will compromise your Security, and some can turn your machine into a useless "doorstop".
------------------------------------------------
Remove Programs Using Control Panel
From Start, Control Panel, click on Uninstall a program under the Programs heading.
Right click each Entry, as follows, one by one, if it exists, choose Uninstall/Change, and give permission to Continue:
µTorrent
Take extra care in answering questions posed by any Uninstaller.
-----------------------------------------------------------
REBOOT (RESTART) Your Machine
-------------------------------------------------------------
AdwCleaner Download and Run

Click on the Download Now button and save it to your desktop.

You will then be presented with the report. Copy & Paste it into your next post.
