    Run HiJack this though your system to make sure , you can check your hijack this log file here : https://www.hijackthis.de
    If it doesn't fit, force it; if it breaks, it needed replacement anyway

    Like they said ... issue with Spybot.

    Download Spybot Search & Destroy and install it. Please run it, click "Search for Updates" then "Check for Problems". If it finds something, check/tick all items in RED and hit the “Fix Selected Problems” button. Exit Spybot.

    ….& DSO Exploit fix…….

    If you keep getting the DSO Exploit entries, even after you updated Windows and fixed them, then download the Spybot DSO Exploit Fix here.
    and install it over the current Spybot installation.

    A quick tutorial for using Spybot can be found here.

    Before exiting Spybot, Click on the Immunize button to give further protection to your PC. Spybot updates tend to come out every Friday, so immediately after downloading the latest updates, click on the Immunize button.
