At the very least, you have: AdTool.Win32.WhenU.a and Client-P2P.Win32.Winny.2b66 The above are not strickly malicious, but are "adware" meaning that they do send some of your browsing and personal information back to a website home related to" Save SaveNow VVSN WhenUSearch ___________ Personally, I consider these items as "risky" and would Uninstall them, along with whatever utility they came bundled with. Some folks "tolerate" their presence in exchange for being able to use the "free version" of the utility that they downloaded/installed. The utility is often Daemon Tools. However, the "riskware" could have been bundled with various of the Codecs, dvdcloning, and p2p softwares you have installed. __________ Recommendation: Go over to our Malware Removal Forum for some expert advice on cleaning up your machine. Note: you probably "will" loose the functionality of the software application that came bundled with these "riskwares". ___________ Once you have any malware situation cleaned up, please feel free to post back into this thread with any additional questions concerns that may remain.
