You are infected

I suggest you go to the Malware Forum and run all the steps located in the START HERE. These self-help tools will help you clean up 70% of problems on your own. If you are still having problems after doing the steps, then please post the reguested logs in THAT forum. If you are unable to run any of the tools then start a new topic in the malware forum and put this in the subject line...I am unable to run any malware tools

If you are still having problems after being given a clean bill of health from the malware expert, then please return to THIS thread and we will pursue other options to help you solve your current problem(s).

You were also advised by Happyrock in another topic you had located HERE on 7/11/09 to go to the Malware Forum and get expert help.
As of this post you still have not done either of our requests.
It appears you have a active infection that needs to be cleaned. Only the malware techs are specially trained to do this so you will need to start a topic there for assistance.
