Hi,

ApexDC++ is installed on your computer and I see that it's running. While ApexDC++ is a clean P2P program, there's no guarantee that the files downloaded are. Please refrain from using it /them while cleaning your computer to prevent getting more infections.

A list of clean and infected P2P programs can be found at Malware Removal and Spyware Info.

The risks of using a P2P program are stated in this Sourceforge website and Information Week article.
