did you download PDFCreator-1_4_3_setup.exe ?

did a quick google search found 2 possible ways to remove.
The hard way and the easy way.

Easy Way. 1 http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/473698/action-center-suggests-i-have-win32smallca-virus/ which tells the person whos infected to scan your machine with ESET OnlineScan see link http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner-popup/ if you use Internet explorer or for alternate browsers use this link http://download.eset.com/special/eos/esetsmartinstaller_enu.exe

I used the installer_enu found a toolbar with Jdownloader which wasnt installed but deleted it.

Download, double click exe file.
Check "YES, I accept the Terms of Use."
Click the Start button.
Accept any security warnings from your browser.
Under scan settings, check "Scan Archives" and "Remove found threats"
Click Advanced settings and select the following:
Scan potentially unwanted applications
Scan for potentially unsafe applications
Enable Anti-Stealth technology

ESET will then download updates for itself, install itself, and begin scanning your computer. Please be patient as this can take some time.
When the scan completes, click List Threats Click Export, and save the file to your desktop using a unique name, such as ESETScan.
note necessary here. Include the contents of this report in your next reply. Click the Back button. Click the Finish button.
the easy way should fix as it fixed that persons with the same virus.

You dont want to know the hard way. but heres the link http://forums.whatthetech.com/index.php?showtopic=125101
to long to post here. but looking at the length i would say it would post as 2 pages on here.

Try downloading and running Malware Bytes Anti malware software.

Do you use anti virus and a firewall?

@Andy - can you try and use paragraphs please? Your posts are REALLY hard to read as they are just a wall of text.
