There are several things wrong here.
Please print this out to help you follow the advice.
#First ...
Download and install the trial version of AVG Anti-Spyware here (formerly Ewido) here……
www.ewido.net/en/download
The program should launch automatically after installation. If not then double-click the desktop icon.
Deactivate the Resident Shield
> Before proceeding, deactivate the "Resident Shield" as this may prevent changes to the registry.
> To do this, click "Change State" to the right of the Resident Shield option in the main window.
> You will clearly see the status change to Inactive if you have done this correctly.
Update AVG Anti-Spyware Definitions
> The program automatically updates the spyware definitions if you are connected to the net during installation.
> As a precaution, click the "Update" icon from the main menu.
> Then click the "Start Update" button.
> When you receive the "Update successful" prompt, close AVG Anti-Spyware.
-->>Note: If you have any problems with the updater you can update manually here:

Reboot into
Safe Mode.
Scanning with AVG Anti-Spyware
> Open AVG Anti-Spyware and click the "Scanner" icon from the main menu.

I don't see an antivirus ptrogram running. Do you have one? If not then download & install either of these ...
AVG Free

Avast

Scan with the program and let it fix anything it wants to.
