   You should use an antivirus program and antispyware software, because your computer is now infected with viruses and/or spyware.
   Here you have more information on computer security, as well as good and free programs that you can download into your computer:

   Best way to get rid of that terrible Malware easily is to download combofix.

   http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUB…

   Download it and run it, agree to the license, and let it scan. Should get rid of most of it. After that if you need anti-virus, use AVG 8.0, it’s free and it doesn’t expire, install and update it, and let it scan to get rid of the rest of it. free.avg.com and download the free edition of AVG 8.0.

   Try Avast! http://avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html and this program here:

   The second one sounds fake, but I assure you it works.
   The first one scans your computer before booting if you want it to, and it automatically does that when you first install it. This stops certain viruses from avoiding detection or deletion.

   Sounds like a mutation string. Every time your programs delete the vira made by the base file the file will create the files again. Try ctrl+alt+del enter processes tab and find out which one doesnt belong. This can be tricky though if youre not sure what all the processes are. If you find this item restart your computer in safemode and delete it.

   why don’t you want to reinstall Windows XP? It will take a fraction of the time you will spend slogging through a dozen adware fixes, only to find out you have to try another one. Then all you have to do is stay off those porn sites.

    Download and scan with Malwarebytes and/or SUPERAntiSpyware. Cheers!

    Malwarebytes and SUPERAntiSpyware are the best anti-spyware applications available (you can have more than one). Other free anti-spyware programs would be Spybot Search & Destroy, Adaware, AVG Anti-spyware (formally Ewido), A-squared, Spyware Terminator and SpywareBlaster.

    If you do not have an updated anti-virus program always running, you need to get one. Install only one, but you can get AVG, Avast! or AntiVir for free.

    Running virus removal programs in Safe Mode (tap F8 as the computer boots up and choose to boot to safe mode) can be more effective. The idea behind the Safe Mode is that the operating system would only load your essential programs and drivers to the memory and hence there is a “high” chance that the virus-infected file is on the drive but not loaded into memory.

    I strongly recommend using FireFox, it’s a far better and safer alternative to Internet Explorer. If you add-on McAfee SiteAdvisor, it will warn you of potentially harmful sites. I also recommend CCleaner which is a free system optimization and privacy tool.
