For the last couple of days some unwelcome advert windows keep poping up on my screen, coming mainly from http://mtn5.goole.ws.

I believe I have located the spyware or malware program. Through my Mc Afee antivirus I found information and trace a program called "%%%%%.exe" in c:\windows\system 32.

Spybot did not detect it and I cannot delete this program as it is in use. I have started my computer in safe mode, but was not able to delete it either.

What shall I do?

Thanks for your help

Hi

Let's see your hjt log first.

Download and install TrendMicro HijackThis (http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/_download/HJTInstall.exe)
* Once installed open HijackThis by clicking Start > Programs > HijackThis and click the button labeled
Do a system scan only

* Click the scan button in the lower left hand corner of the interface and HijackThis will quickly scan your system.
* Once the scan is complete the scan button will now read save log. Click this button to save the log file to your PC. Once you select where you would like to save the file it will open in your systems default text editor. Typically this application is Notepad. Post the log here.
