It's okay, I Googled all 3 dll files and got that information so left them be and installed a registered Kapersky 7 after creating a back-up. Everything running better; also Googled virtumonde.dll and an outfit by the name of 'Spy Hunter' informed me they were up to the job of blasting it, done a scan, didn't find it but found 3 zlob Trojans and 14 other nasty files and will remove them if I registered and paid them money.
Problem I've noticed here is it's hard to tell who the good/bad guys are in regards to Spyware i.e. I was getting a pop-up stating I could have malicious files on my Computer, click here etc. this was taking me to a web-site by the name of 'storage protector' which turns out to be a nasty site So some of these so called Spyware companies are actually infecting instead of fixing, how evil is that ? |

Yes, tried Spybot and it finds virtumonde stuff all the time and doesn't nag me for $20 so a big to them ! Haven't tried the other; gonna see if Kapersky and Spybot 'get on with each other' and see what happens
Not trying anymore 'free system scans' which turn out to be 'free system scams' |

Zonealarm Internet Security comes with Kaspersky antivirus attached, and works fine with Spybot, as far as I can tell. In about 12 months of usage, Virtually nothing got past the firewall, and the 3 trojans / viruses that did (due to sloppy downloading practices ), were snapped up immediately. |
