If you love something set it free, if it doesn't come back, hunt it down and kill it !!!

Have you tried checking for ad/spy-ware? Do a google search for "Spybot" and "Ad-Aware". Use them both, they cover each other well.

Yup, i'm already using Spybot.
But, it doesn't make any difference.
I still have this processes running each time i boot.

Did any of you happen to know about this?

Go on google and type the name of the processes that you want more info on. Then decide if you want to keep the process. If not you can use msconfig to prevent the process from loading.

For example, I looked up ntvdm.exe and wowexec.exe and both are Windows process for a 16-bit virtual machine. I beleive that you installed an old 16-bit game, and the game installed the virtual machine without warning you.

In ancient times they had no statistics so they had to fall back on lies
