I have reason to suspect that my computer's security may have been intentionally compromised as I left it on while I was out and apparently someone was seen trying to access it with a pen drive. Furthermore, the computer is running awfully slow!
I did run AVG AV and Panda Activescan when I returned, but there was nothing found.
A few days later, I downloaded Spyware Doctor and it found the following trojan in its first scan trojan-PWS.OnlineGames.KW. It quarantined the file. (Can I delete this now?)
Thereafter, I have followed the malware removal guide as follows:
ATF Cleaner - completed
System Restore - completed
AVG Antispyware - completed in safe mode (nothing found)
SUPERAntiSpyWare Home Edition - completed (nothing found - log below)

The funny thing about this adware incident is that it came up the first time I ran activescan and I deleted the link from favorites but it has shown up again.
