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.
