Good day,

I have problems with my Vista installation with what I beleive is a adware. It first started with various popups about an antivirus program (AV 360). AVG got rid of the infections (trojans) and after I've ran HJT just to make sure everything was O.K. and I noticed a .DLL being loaded (metukatu.dll) on several lines, and even if I try to remove the line directly in the registry, it comes back almost instantly. Please note that that .dll is nowhere to be found on my mahine.

Here's my HJT Log:
