I downloaded a program called Search and Destroy mistakenly and ran it. It was scareware so I uninstalled it immediately. Have now run the latest S & D and it shows the above malware. Attempting a fix always results in Spybot freezing and I have to reboot. XP laptop. Avast AV. Took off Restore Points and even ran an HJT and deleted a Search and Destroy entry leaving the Spybot ones. This has reduced the infections to 2 from 3. Willing to look into the register if anyone has got any ideas.
The Search and Destroy intry in Google has now disappeared thank goodness:sad:

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.
