Hello,

Basically its spy:

I would recommend looking into getting one of these to help you out with you
problem:

Spyware / Adware / Hijackers

Cwshredder
http://aumha.org/freeware/freeware.php#cwshred

Ad-aware SE
http://www.lavasoftusa.com

Spybot Search and Destroy
http://www.safer-networking.org

Bazooka Adware and Spyware Scanner
http://download.com.com/3000-2144-10247783.html

Pest Patrol Free Pest Scanner
http://www.pestscan.com/ScanOrTrial.asp

If you're still having problems after running these then run HijackThis
and post the log to one of the specialty forums, _NOT_ this one.
