Hi stevie.
I'm afraid that you have a serious infection on the computer. It is a worm that has backdoor/Trojan functionality to steal information. This means that someone has had access to your computer and has possibly gathered personal information from it.
You are strongly advised to change
all your online passwords, but do
not do it using this computer - use another, clean one. If you use the computer for any financial transactions (online banking, credit card payments, PayPal or any other financial accounts), then call your banks, credit card companies etc and inform them that you may be a victim of identity theft. Ask them to put a watch on the accounts or change all of the account/card numbers.

Download and Install SDFixDownload
SDFix and save it to your Desktop.
Double click
SDFix.exe and it will extract the files to %systemdrive%
(This is the drive that contains the Windows Directory, typically C:\SDFix)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Reboot to Safe ModeImportant: If you have an 'always on' connection to the internet, physically disconnect that connection until you are finished with Safe Mode and have rebooted back into normal mode. I suggest that you print these instructions, as you will not have access to them once you have disconnected from the internet.
- Restart your computer.
- Continually tap the F8 button as your computer is booting a menu appears.
- Use up-arrow key to select Safe Mode and press Enter.
--------------------------------------------------------
Run SDFix- Open the extracted SDFix folder and double click RunThis.bat to start the script.
- Type Y to begin the cleanup process.
- It will remove any Trojan Services and Registry Entries that it finds, then prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
- Press any key and it will restart the PC.
- When the PC restarts, the Fixtool will run again and complete the removal process and then display Finished.
- Press any key to end the script and load your desktop icons.
- Once the desktop icons load, the SDFix report will open on screen and also save into the SDFix folder as Report.txt
(Report.txt will also be copied to Clipboard ready for posting back on the forum).
